1“At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. ² Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 

³ Those who are wise^[a] will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. ⁴ But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”

⁵ Then I, Daniel, looked, and there before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank. ⁶ One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?”

⁷ The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time.^[b] When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.”

⁸ I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?”

⁹ He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed until the time of the end. ¹⁰ Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.

The wicked will continue to be wicked, but the wise will see ?

So as much as things will change, in some ways they will remain the same 🙂

“But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us, ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentence”. -2 Peter 3:8-9

Simply put, time is not the same for God as it is for us. And our Lord wants us all to have a chance to repent! Blessed are we 🙂

Peter was a great friend of Jesus. And after Jesus went to Heaven, Peter spent his life trying to ensure that we would go to Heaven too. Peter was the first Apostle to see Jesus after the resurrection and he loved our Lord so much, that Peter was actually crucified upside down because he felt unworthy to be crucified like Jesus.

Hell is not an easy subject to discuss, and the End Times can be equally difficult. But the warnings we see from Peter and in other sections of the Bible are there because Christ loved us so much, He didn’t want anyone to suffer there. And neither did Peter!

One of Peter’s greatest warnings was “Beware of False Teachers”. Unfortunately, our country is filled with them. How often now do we go to church and get told that we can ignore sin? That God loves us so much, we need not worry? Or how about Preachers who teach that the sins listed in the Bible are not relevant in today’s age?

It’s all relevant, and it’s relevant now and forever! The Bible and Christ’s teachings do not change-ever. We can not just ignore sin. As to what is sin-the Bible defines that for us. Peter warned us that false teachers would come; we need to heed his warning!

If we truly wish to Follow Christ, we need to read the Bible. All of God’s Truth’s are listed there! 🙂

“It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Patrick Henry / Governor of Virginia

Principally and first of all, I give and recommend my soul into the Hands of God that gave it; and my body I recommend to the earth…. nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again by the Mercy and Power of God. John Hancock / Signer of the Declaration of Independence

Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers. John Jay / First Chief Justice of the Supreme Court

“Bless O Lord The whole race of mankind and let the world be filled with the knowledge of Thee and Thy Son Jesus Christ”-George Washington

Now our country has, sadly, turned their backs on the very God who helped create it. One has only to look around our country to see the results! 🙁

Where does our Happiness come from?

That is really the question that will determine if we will be able to hold onto our happiness during these difficult days and in the future.

Many would like to think that due to having a vaccine for Covid 19, our days of trouble are over. Unfotunately, that is not true. They are just beginning.

Should we enjoy our “Days in the Sun”? Absolutely! They are a gift from God. 🙂

But we should also prepare for the future. Prepare, Watch and Pray. And one of the steps under “Prepare” is learning where true happiness, the type of happiness that can not be taken from us, comes from 🙂

It comes from God. And that is why it can not be taken from you.

It comes from Jesus. Whose love for us can always be relied upon.

It comes from the Holy Spirit, our Comforter and Friend.

It comes in the Face of A Child.

In the hug of a loved one.

In the warmth of a friendship.

In the memory of a wonderful day

In a glimpse of the beauty of nature.

In the sound of a song.

And they are Gifts to us from God 🙂 Both now and in Heaven. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
