The Salvation Clock is Ticking

 


As humans we have great hubris. We think we have an infinite amount of time to tend to things, and often put the important matters on hold. Even though our day chimes with a clock, we live in a state of illusion that there is plenty of time left. When in truth we are not promised the next day, nor hour, nor second. 


In this state of denial about time, people put off salvation, believing that they have plenty of days ahead to trek the Narrow Path. The reality though is midnight is upon us. At the stroke of midnight, Christ will return, and when He does  the time of salvation [the chances to believe in Him as Savior]  will be over, hence the verse, “For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation”(2 Corinthians 6:2).  When Christ Returns in the sky it will be too late for people to repent and believe in Him (Revelation 6:16, Revelation 19:11-19). So the burden is upon us to reach out with the Gospel while there is still time for people to believe in Jesus and be saved! The urgency cannot be understated. Once Our Lord appears in the sky, that’s it! The hourglass is empties, the clock chimes, and then comes the judgement! People are so unaware of how precarious their soul is. If they die without faith in Christ they perish for eternity (John 3:18), and if they refuse to believe in Christ before He appears on the clouds of heaven, they shall perish in the inferno for eternity! (Revelation 20:15). 


Now is the time to grab hold of grace!  We arn’t promised tomorrow or even the next hour. Do not waste your opportunity to be one of the blessed whose salvation is secure in the Savior and Lord Jesus Christ! 


Tick tock. The clock is going and before you is a choice. Choose to believe in Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who is God Incarnate (God in human flesh, God in a physical human body), LORD God, Son of God, Second Person of the Trinity (Means he is second listed as in prayer “In Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit” not second in importance, for Jesus Christ the Son Is One with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit), Lamb of God, King of Kings, Messiah, Savior, Alpha and Omega. If you do, if you trust in Jesus and His finished work of salvation on the cross and His rising from the dead you shall be saved! But even God sets limits, just as he did to the sky and sea (Proverbs 8:29), and the limit is you must believe in, confess aloud, and live in a relationship with Christ now before you die or He returns in the sky! That’s the bargain. He offers the free gift of salvation, but there is a time limit which is your life , “ And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,”(Hebrews 9:27), and His Return, “But remember that they will have to face God, who stands ready to judge everyone, both the living and the dead.” (1 Peter 4:5). And He could return at any moment! 


Don’t waste the clock, believe now! While you can. Amen.

The Potrait of Jesus: What Christ Looked Like

What was Jesus’s appearance? Pseudo-historians at National Geographic and other publications argue that Jesus’ humanity was of Arab or African descent. This is impossible because Jesus our God was Son of David according to His flesh, “He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord (God),” (Romans 1:2-4), and King David was described as the following, “So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy [red, ruddy, from the word admowniy {ad-mo-nee'}; from 'adam ; reddish of the hair or the complexion red, ruddy], with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he. So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came ...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Orthodox Christianity and Messianic Judaism

There is a divide between the two sides of Christianity. One is lined by a rosary, the other with tallit (prayer shawl). In the west we tend to come from a Greco-Roman understanding of The Bible and Jesus Christ. We are saturated with images of the Crucifixion and see through the red lens of Calvary. Now The Messianic or Jewish perspective is becoming more prevalent as people begin to study the roots of the Christian faith. After all, Jesus was a Jew and his Twelve Disciples were all Jews of different sects and positions in society. By studying the Jewish roots of Jesus we come to understand the ancient customs, practices, rites, and traditions that are featured in the Old and New Testaments. We learn in Jewish tradition that a Rabbi had to be ordained by two rabbis and that when Jesus was asked, "by who's authority do you say these things?, (Luke 20:2)" the Pharisees were asking who had ordained Jesus and where he got his yoke (teachings), and Jesus responds, "wh...
