Lighthouses shine the brightest and are the most needed in the darkness of the storms of life to point to safety and preserve life. Thus are we to be Christ's lighthouse and a beacon of TRUTH, LIGHT and ETERNAL SAFTEY in such times to point all mankind to the Savior of their souls (Psalm 27:1, Matt. 5:16, John 8:12, Eph.5:22-23; Thess. 5:5, James 1:17, 1 Peter 2:9). Are we - as Almighty God's blood brought children - looking subjectively at our fallen world with all its innumerable crises and fears or are we seeing things objectively from Almighty God's ETERNAL and RIGHTEOUS perspective with the eyes of faith and the actions of believing (Prov. 3:5-6, Eph. 1-2; Col. 3:1-4)?
You may be the lighthouse of Jesus that HE will use to bring in a lost soul safe into the ETERNAL REDEMPTIVE Harbor of His SAVING GRACE and LOVE!
That is the question each one of us as Almighty God's children should be asking ourselves in this hour. Are we believing or unbelieving in such times? Remember this world is not our home and that ETERNITY with our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and Savior Jesus Christ is our ETERNAL FUTURE (John 14:3, 1 Cor. 2:9, James 2:-8, 1 Peter 1:3-9, Rev. 21; 22:1-5)! This world is NOT our home, we're just a pass'n through! SO, in the light of ETERNITY, shine the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS LIGHT of the BLESSED Gospel of Jesus Christ and His ETERNAL REDEMPTION, HOPE, PEACE, FORGIVENESS, JOY, and LOVE in the storms of this life (John 15:1-8, 1 Cor. 1:30-31, Col. 1:27, Gal. 5:22-23)! You may be the lighthouse of Jesus that HE will use to bring a lost soul safe into the ETERNAL REDEMPTIVE Harbor of His SAVING GRACE and LOVE (Matt. 5:13-16, John 1:12, Acts 16:25-34, 2 Cor. 2:15; 5:17-21, Eph. 2:1-14, 1 Thes. 5:5, 1 John 4:10; Rev. 1:5)! Shine on!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

The recent events show you who is for God and good, vs ravening wolves in ships clothing.
Observe the “Christians” who side with the people who launched the Nov 7 attack that killed many in gruesome ways and who are still holding hostages.
Even if the Israeli’s were not Jewish, (let’s pretend they were just another nationality/religion), who would defend the actions, and tear down “missing” posters?
Sad to say, but historically the “Christians” who have believed in supersessionism or Replacement Theology (that God is done wit the Jews because.....) have not only stood by when the Jews were massacred, but actually helped. Look at the Spanish Inquisition, and the Holocaust. Did you know the Vatican assisted the Nazis in fleeing Germany at the end of WW2 so as to avoid war crime trials?
There are a lot of people comfortable with their sins and they are focused on being more comfortable.
Rejoice
And again I say Rejoice !
Look to the Hills whence
Our Salvation Comes !
Proclaim the Holy One of Israel the
Maker of Heavens and Earth!
The Righteousness of Christ washes
away the sin of a fallen World.
Come to Jesus and be Saved !

From a GERMAN source.
Good word.
In Acts 2, the Holy Spirit came and Peter preached from Joel:
Acts 2:17-18 NKJV
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
And they shall prophesy.
He preached the Gospel (fulfillment of God’s purpose, plan, promises, and prophecy through Jesus; the substitutionary death of Jesus on the cross; His burial, resurrection, and eyewitness testimony of these events), and look at the results:
Acts 2:40-41 NKJV
And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.
3000 converts!
If it was the “last days” when Peter preached on Pentecost 2000 years ago, then it is certainly the last days now. And God is at work supernaturally today, bringing thousands into the kingdom.
