Is the Day of the Lord at hand? Tragically, many say that it is not; for many are unregenerate, blinded by the god of this world, and know not His RIGHTEOUS Word (Prov. 1:25-31, 2 Cor. 4:2-4, 1 Thess. 4:13-18; 5:1-3). All things today are moving EXPONENTIALLY toward this Day, yet it is a total fairy tale to billions! Dear friends, it will be at the end of the church age at the Rapture that the global EXPONENTIAL ACCUNMINATED lawlessness of man will reach its zenith in rebellion and lawlessness and run straight into the Day of the Lord and His RIGHTEOUS Wrath (Rev. 6-19)! The Book of Revelation is all about a godless world's EXPONENTIAL rebellion against its ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator (Rom. 1:18-32)!
Oh, that man would only truly trust Almighty God their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and call on Him for ETERNAL deliverance and salvation (John 1:12, Acts 4:12; 16:29-31)! Lawlessness only destroys ETERNALLY, yet an unregenerate man is hooked on it as heroin to an addict and pushes all hands away from those who seek to help to deliver in RIGHTEOUSNESS (Isa. 30:15; 53:6; Jer. 10:23; 17:9; John 1:9-11; 8:24; Rom. 1:18-32)! Unregenerate humanity is hiding from Almighty God much like Adam was when he first sinned and deep down inside they know why they are hiding, they LOVE their darkness and are LOVER of it (Gen. 3:9-11, John 3:19-21)! Note how Adam knew his sin and then try to blame Eve (Gen. 3:9-12). Unregenerate man is always seeking to self preserve himself at all costs to hold on to their love of darkness. This my friend is the biblical RIGHTEOUS diagnosis of Adam's fallen race and why all desperately need the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Jesus for one's ETERNAL well-being (Isa. 53; John 11:25-26, Rom. 10:2-4; Gal. 1:4)!
My dear friend, are you a hider today? One who hides from Almighty God in the cloak of demonic darkness (Gen. 3:6-11; John 3:19-21; Eph. 2:1-3)? Are you hiding in your traditions, family, culture, political party, skin color, "good" works, vices, social justice crusades, career, global movements, conservatism, liberalism, marxism, religiousness, abortion rights, pro-life passions, greeds, creeds, violence, gangs, humanitarian institutions, genders, sports, movies, etc., etc.? What are you hiding in that will keep you from coming to the ETERNAL Light of Almighty God your ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator, who so loved you that He came forth from Heaven's glory to die for your sins and transgressions (Isa. 53, John 1:1-12; Heb. 1:2-3; 1 John 4:10)! Almighty God is calling out to you today and will you come out of hiding and come into the ETERNAL Light of His presence (John 3:19-21)? Oh, my dear friends, I was once a hider and I ran from the Lord because I loved my darkness, but in Almighty God's grace and mercy He came after me until I saw my hiding place for what it was (John 3:19-21; 1 Cor. 6:9-11; 2 Cor. 5:17-21, Eph. 2:1-14)! It will be 30 years this October that Almighty God delivered me ETERNALLY from my hiding place and my death and I am here to tell you that LIFE and LIGHT in Christ are ETERNALLY superior to a life in darkness and sin! If you are a hider, I want to challenge you to come to the LIGHT of RIGHTEOUSNESS and see for yourself and place your ETERNAL trust in Jesus for your ETERNAL deliverance and salvation!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
For some, a fairy tale come true. (It is prophesied in the Bible. What could be more true?)
For many, the beginning of a horrible horror story, a Hell on earth, and the beginning of etenal unimaginable torment to come.
Bkmk
No, but for those who want an excuse to not believe it, they write it off as such.
It’s right there before us, this is where God has placed us in time! Praying many see it and the ETERNAL need for Jesus!
Eph. 5:15-18 MM!
True, it will be indeed a fairy tale come true!
Isa. 11, Zech 14 etc!
Eternity is at hand!
How many people lack wisdom about it? MOST....tragically.
But, for the smart ones:
Matthew 13:44-46
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
The Wise will call upon the Name of Jesus and be found worthy of Him.
Yes indeed, where our heart is there will be our treasure as well!

God sees man as either
In Adam, or
In Christ
That’s it.
In Adam you have the sin nature you were born in and the only way to rid yourself of this sin nature is by the law. Works.
In Christ you have been taken out of Adam at the moment you believed and accepted the finished work of Christ on your behalf. And at that point the Holy Spirit places you in Christ. Grace.
There are no other choices. No other ways to approach God or hide from Him.
Well said and great point! Either we are or we ain’t! Rom. 5:12-21!
Maranatha!
That’s right and that’s why works for salvation will never save you. You are never out of Adam. The same thing goes for faith plus works for salvation. It’s the works that keep you in Adam.
What’s awesome is that those in Christ have no condemnation and have the hope of glory!
Rom. 8:1/Col. 1:27
