Taking Back This Nation For God!

.

Part 16:

“Why Are Our Enemies Taking Over?”

“Therefore My people are gone into captivity,

because they have no knowledge”

Isaiah 5:13

.

.

.

.

.

This above signature verse speaks of how God in His wrath, delivers His disobedient people into captivity.

.

All through the Old Testament, time and time again, God sent His rebellious people into bondage and servitude under the cruel hand of some heathen people-group.

“IT CAN’T HAPPEN HERE!”

.

But the New Testament Church figures, “It will never happen to us! No, no, God is going to take us up in the Rapture before all the bad stuff begins!” And in our presumptuous over-confidence, we have been deceived by our leaders, even as Isaiah 3:12 fore-warned…“O My people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.”

.

Yes, it is those smoother-than-butter preachers who have confidently assured us into the notion that God is so happy with us, and will joyfully remove us just prior to the “Great Day of His Wrath”. Revelation 6:17

“SOMETHING’S NOT RIGHT HERE”

.

But in spite of this deception, many Christians are already getting nervous as we look around and see our society seemingly going into a rapid downward spiral.

.

And yet, our leaders confidently reassure us that all is “Peace and safety! We’re Rapture-ready!”.

.

But little do we know nor understand that, “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” (1st Thessalonians 5:3)

.

.

.

.

.

“IF ANY MAN LOVES THE WORLD, THE LOVE OF THE FATHER IS NOT IN HIM!”

.

And so, because we have sought (with such great gusto) after the vain pleasures and proud pursuits of this selfish world, the Lord has allowed the secularists to move in and take control of the Christian community.

.

They have set up their talking image right in the midst of the Christian home.

.

They are indoctrinating Christian children in secular schools, teaching atheism and other sinful ideologies.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“THE PEOPLE SHALL LABOR IN THE VERY FIRE”

Habakkuk 2:13

.

And Christians have no idea that they are laboring in the very fire of God’s wrath and destruction.

.

And if this weren’t bad enough, society is allowing false religions to come in and further rule over us.

.

And God’s people have no idea that we are suffering the same punishment that the Old Testament people of God suffered!

.

Listen to Paul’s warning to Christians from 1st Corinthians 10:11, 12…

“Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples:

and they are written for our admonition,

upon whom the ends of the world are come.

Wherefore let him that thinketh he stands take heed lest he fall.”

.

Yes, the Old Testament was written especially for Christians. And wherever you read such names as “Israel”, or “Jews”, or “congregation”, or any other Old Testament reference, and replace these with names such “The Church’, or “Christians”, and chances are, that passage will equally apply to New Testament Christians.

“COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE!”

Revelation 18:4

.

Now, we must not lose all hope!

.

No, there is great hope! But only in one direction!

.

Listen to Revelation 18:1, 4…“Babylon is fallen, is fallen…Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

.

Yes, God’s people must join this end-time exodus out of the “City of Confusion”, which is the world as well as the worldly churches and fallen denominations. And even the most conservative churches are just as void of God’s Spirit as the liberal ones are.

“(HEAVENLY) BREAD SHALL BE GIVEN HIM, HIS WATERS (OF GRACE) SHALL BE SURE!”

Isaiah 33:16 (parenthetical additions by this editor)

.

But in His great mercy, God has abundantly spread a table in the wilderness for all those who are escaped out of Babylon.

.

Oh no, we cannot come completely out of the world. But we can come a good way out, if we so-choose!

.

But we definitely must, 

“Flee out of the midst of Babylon (the fallen churches & denominations),

and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity;

for this is the time of the LORD’S vengeance;

He will render unto her a recompense.”

Jeremiah 51:6 (parenthetical comment by this editor)

“Multitudes, multitudes in the ‘Valley of Decision’…

.

for the day of the Lord is near in the ‘Valley of Decision’.”

.

“The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining… 

.

“The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem…

.

“And the heavens and the earth shall shake…

.

“But the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

.

Joel 3:14-16

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION GROUP…

.

.

Look eastward in the early summer through fall. Find the Cassiopeia Constellation. Cassiopeia is the Mount of Blessing. In the sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left. In the sky, it is the northern-most of these three mountains when facing eastward. It resembles a pyramid.

.

Then find the second pyramid to its right (south).

.

Then go a little further south to the next third pyramid. The third snow-cap is the Destroying Mountain Constellation.

.

These three pyramids are the snow-capped portion of these three mountains in this sketch. (of course, you won’t see the snow-caps in the sky. They are just an embellishment in this sketch to present a concept-EDITOR).
