I see God bringing the many moral issues of the day to the forefront and He will know how each of us stand on these issues.  I see this as a sign that his judgments are forthcoming on our society and we must make known how we stand. 

DON’T TELL ME YOU DON’T HAVE TO KEEP THE SABBATH; TELL HIM!

In my time as a Pastor I have heard many lame attempts to justify defiling the Sabbath. The title of this article represents one of the most common responses. The point of this article is to put those who might attempt to debate this subject with me on notice that; you are talking to the wrong person!

I can relate to Gideon. I can list all the reasons for my doubt as he did in verse 13. If so? Where then is the proof? Why then has this happened? Sound familiar?

It is no coincidence that the name Chernobyl is synonymous with “WORMWOOD”. The Ukraine memorial complex depicts the “third angel of Rev. 8” shadowing this memorial to the victims of the worst nuclear accident in history.

The name “Druzhba” means “friendship”, alluding to the fact that the pipeline supplied oil to the energy-hungry western regions of the Soviet Union, to its “fraternal socialist allies” in the former Soviet bloc, and to western Europe.

You are aware of Gog’s demise, RIGHT?

I notice most references to Gog in modern publications and Blogs associate him with the anti-Christ of John’s Revelation chapter 20. There is much to do about the rise of the anti-Christ and little mention of his demise. The prophet Ezekiel gives us a vivid description of Gog’s demise and the specific timing of his demise should eliminate his consideration as the personage of John’s anti-Christ. These two references are clearly not the same individual.

WHO ARE THE KINGDOMS OF THE GOG/MAGOG FEDERATION?

Ezekiel’s references to (Gog) and his federation is comprised of regions from antiquity as well as current geopolitical nations of his time. Ezekiel’s specific (veiled) references to the King of the North (Gog) are names associated with regions settled by the descendants of Noah some 1600 years prior to the time of his prophecy (see Genesis chapter 10).

News Flash! Russia is not the “KING OF THE NORTH”!

While attentions are focused on Russia/Ukraine tensions, I would be watching for the King of the North to make a move against Israel. The King of the North or more accurately termed “Gog” is characterized as an opportunist by the phrase in Eze 38:4 … “with hooks in his jaws” or in other words; to be tempted and drawn in by opportunity. If you have read my Ezekiel commentary then you know, I don’t believe Russia is the mystery “King of the North” or rather I should say Gog/Magog.

“COME NOW, LET US REASON TOGETHER”

Most of the words used by theologians confuse the simple truth of God’s love and his grace. It’s not necessary, GOD’S LOVE IS SIMPLE! Shortly after publishing this poem, several parishioners asked, “what happened to the country preacher I knew”? Case in point; this poem was intended to point out that the theological and philosophical aspects of religious thought often convolute the simple truth of Gods love and plan of salvation. I guess my point was made… it isn’t really that difficult…. sorry for any confusion. I am still your loving country preacher… Y’all Come Back Now, Ya Hear…!

Time is only relative to man! God is the ancient of days and has no beginning or end. Man offers excuses for time as though he can defer or dismiss the fact that ‘we are running out of time”. What’s your excuse? I believe we only have the moment and should not delay what we should do, NOW! NOW IS THE TIME OF SALVATION!
