America - Are You Ready for ETERNITY?
IFB ^ | 1/17/19

Posted on 01/17/2019 7:08:16 PM PST by The Ignorant Fisherman

May I ask you (America) this most serious personal question? Do you possess the perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS needed to enter into the holy perfect presence of Almighty God? That is exactly what Almighty God has provided in the Person of Jesus Christ for ALL those of Adam’s fallen race who place their trust in Him (Rom. 3:23; 6:23; 10:2-4; 2 Cor. 5:21).

These turbulent and troubling days are only going to get worse (2 Tim.3:1-7, 4:1-4). There is nothing we can do to stop what is transpiring and radically taking place in our nation and in this world. We are indeed at the Alamo in our world today where lawlessness moral relativism will continue to abound until the Man of Lawlessness himself is revealed (2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 6:1-2; 13). May you OBJECTIVELY look “outside of the box” of your time-constrained worldview (Rom. 8:3-8, 2 Cor. 2:14), and place your faith in Almighty God, who so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son to die for your sins (transgressions against Almighty God’s RIGHTEOUS standards) and mine (John 3:16-17). That is what this LIFE is all about - having a living relationship with our Creator in spirit and truth (reality) - John 4:24. It is ETERNITY that is ALL of our final destinations. It is for there that we must be ready in RIGHTEOUSNESS and in TRUTH (Rev. 20:11-20, 21, 22:1-5)! The question each American should soberly ask themselves is, "Am I ready for Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS ETERNITY and will I be able to stand in His HOLY RIGHTEOUS PRESENCE as I am?" (Rom. 3:23, Rom. 7:15-25).

May it be that you personally place ALL of your cares and expectations in Him alone for your ETERNAL - as well as temporal - well-being (1 Peter 5:7; Rev. 1:5). In doing so YOU will NEVER be the same, no, never (2 Cor. 5:17-21)!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand America!

Having a firm belief we are living in the end times, it was only just today that I came to the realization regarding how President Trump fits into the prophecy. As a huge Trump supporter my soul is thoroughly convinced President Donald Trump IS the first horseman of the apocalypse, the rider on the white horse, Rev 6:2

While he may be going out to conquer and conquering, he’s NOT the Messiah and only Jesus can ultimately save everything. That said, it should be abundantly obvious how Trumps battles are directly against all the forces of evil.

Countries don’t go to eternity they will all pass away.

Only individuals go to heaven based on their relationship with their redeemer.

People are the entities who will face eternity to good or ill. Countries as we knew them won’t even exist anymore.

Better put: “Dear people of America: are you ready for eternity?”

Many Revelation events are pre-figured by other historical events. It’s far from clear that Donald Trump is “the” rider of “the” white horse. Brazil is seeing a parallel movement through Jair Bolsonaro. This may all be preliminary and the worst evil yet to come.

[[”Am I ready for Almighty God’s RIGHTEOUS ETERNITY and will I be able to stand in His HOLY RIGHTEOUS PRESENCE as I am?”]]

As we are? Of course not because we still have a sin nature, and nothing we do will ever get rid of that- however, fortunately, we won’t have to even try when we got to heaven because our sin nature will be gone- completely- because where God is there can be no sin ever- He is wholly Righteous and so will we be- thanks to Christ’s work on the cross and our final perfection in heaven

In the meantime, we can try to be as good as possible for our Savior’s sake, however, when we do get to heaven, we will be completely sin free through no effort on our part-

Not true Red , Nations will, Rev. 21:22-27. However the post was for Americans, which is pretty obvious if you read it.

A lot of people love to commemt without reading the posts here.

The Remedy for this is as simple as A B C. A=Admit that you are a sinner. Romans 3:10 - As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one." Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (We are all born sinners which is why we must be born spiritually in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven). Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The bad news is that the wages of sin is death, in other words our sin means that we have been given a death sentence, we have the death penalty hanging over our heads, that's the bad news. But here's the good news: The good news is that the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephesians 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. B= Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and that God raised Jesus from the dead. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was. Romans 10:9-10 - That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. C = Call upon the name of the Lord. Every single person who ever lived since Adam will bend their knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Lord of lords and the King of kings. Romans 14:11 - For it is written: "As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God." Don't wait until later — do this now . Romans 10:13 - For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."  If you die today are you going to heaven?  "O God, I am a sinner. I'm sorry for my sin. I want to turn from my sin. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son; I believe that He died on the cross for my sin and that He was buried and You raised Him to life. I have decided to place my faith in Jesus Christ as my Savior, trusting only in His shed blood assufficient to save my soul and to take me to heaven. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving me. Amen."

This scripture, thank you, is helpful in resolving the confusion. In one sense it is wrong, in another sense it is right. There won’t be an “American” section, a “British” section, etc. of heaven — for one thing, what would one do with dual citizenships? The answer would be the same as that as for the man who (re)married and was a widower several times in a row. “Don’t think in earthly terms.”

The sense there is “the peoples of the entire earth.” The divine salvation plan, though it concentrated in the Jewish people beginning with Abraham, was infallibly planned to reach to these peoples. In the Jewish idiom (which dominated the church while scripture was still being written) these are the “goyim.”

I don’t mean the scripture is wrong — the idea of any single country carrying over into heaven is wrong. Even earthly Israel will be eliminated for the heavenly Jerusalem.
