“Blessed is the man that walketh not
in the counsel of the ungodly…
But his delight is in the law of the LORD;
and in His law doth he meditate day and night.
Psalm 1:1, 2

It’s rather amazing what Internet has done to decrease the tolerance for reading, especially for the young!
.
After all, you would think that these devices, which require one to often read some info, would only INcrease our tolerance, not DEcrease!

“…and the cities of the nations fell…”
Revelation 16:19
.
But of course, Satan is no dummy! He knows how to destroy a society, along with the souls of the men, women, and children therein!
.
And he has created this very alluring antichrist-world-system with the express intent to distract, deter, and mislead the children of men from ever engaging in meaningful Bible study/contemplation!

THE HEAVENS DECLARE?
.
These two websites (www.theheavensdeclare.net & www.devouringfire.com) have a lot of information on each article. And one might complain that “they’re just too long!”
.
But are they? Are they too long? Or maybe, the actual problem is that we are simply just too distracted?

“when the disciples came together…Paul preached unto them…and continued his speech until midnight…and talked a long while, even till break of day”
Acts 20:7
.
The Apostle, Paul, conducted at least one Bible study, which lasted perhaps for a good part of a 24-hour period…maybe for 10 or more hours! (See Acts 20:7-11)
.
And if Bible study was that important way back then, how much more should we be devoting time in this momentous hour in which we now find ourselves! We are standing on the very threshold of eternity! And the dark forces of evil are now enclosing around us on every side! We have not a moment to lose!

AN ARDUOUS TASK
.
We must also keep in mind, that the wise men of old, after spending countless hours searching the Scriptures, to see just exactly what and who those prophecies were pointing to, traveled through the deserts hundreds of miles to find the Messiah.
.
All told, those wise men no doubt spent several years on this quest to find the long-awaited Messiah, from the time they first began searching the Scriptures till the time they returned home from their quest to see the Messiah in person!

AM I A WISE MAN?
.
And so, am I willing to spend months praying and searching out this message, in light of God’s Word, to see if this message is the real thing?
.
In other words, are we truly the end-time fulfillment of those wise-men of old?
.
And as such, are we willing to put out the same effort that those wise men of old put out, to discover the truth?
.
And with this message, we don’t even have to travel hundreds of miles!
.
But to really understand this message, does take a great deal of effort.
.
But wise men don’t mind that!
.
After all, isn’t that the stuff that wise men are made of?

“I have esteemed the Words of His mouth more than my necessary food”
Job 23:12
.
And so, the message for today…and for every day following, is to study, study, study!!!
.
And continuously contemplate God’s wonderful Word of Life through our each and every remaining day!
.
As a matter of fact, there is enough material in this website to keep one’s mind upon God’s soul-saving, life-giving Word all through the day!
.
And isn’t that exactly what we should be concentrating our thoughts upon?
.
And God has graciously given this end-time message to help God’s people to complete our upward, Heaven-ward exodus out of this dark and doomed world!
.
So, we have our marching orders! Let’s not be derelict in our duty!
