The 2 Minute Warning

As much of the world already knows, the two minute warning is something that takes place at the end of specific sporting events. It's simply just an unsuspecting alarm or buzzer that goes off in the game to let the players and audience members know that there's only two minutes left in the game. It warns of the opponents one of two things: 1) They’ve either got to score some points to win the game or 2) They’ve got to hold the lead for just two more minutes, although as excruciating as it may be. It's literally the most crucial point of the game in most cases. Plenty of games have been won or lost inside of that two minute warning mark. So when the two minute warning sounds, just know the things are critical!!

Daniel 

2 Timothy 3:1, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come." I will share the rest of the accompanying verses later in this post, but I must start there! You see, 2016 has come to a venomous close and many turned a blind eye to what the Obama administration in the White House allowed to happen. Christians know this was part of the signs of the times prophesied in the Bible. The horrible, heartbreaking actions taken by the United States of America through the United Nations last week against the nation of Israel will not go unpunished. Frustrations between the two nations were exposed over a United Nations Security Council resolution which condemns Israel for constructing settlements in land claimed by the Palestinians. Zechariah 12:3 became a blunt reality on December 23, 2016, a dreadful day indeed! That resolution was passed during a vote, while the rest of the world was scurrying around finding last minute gifts, planning dinner engagements, attending parties and focusing on the upcoming Christmas gatherings only a few short days away, and the fake "Fake News" that Obama redirected the world away from, from the vote. Just like a grand magician using an impressive sleight of hand, Obama did just that with his puppets. It was highly advisable to VETO this resolution. And guess what? The U.S. abstained from participating. By abstaining from voting, it was the same as voting in favor and so the Obama administration caused yet another fire in an already kindling situation. The relationship between Obama and Netanyahu has been adversarial at best. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu didn't take too kindly to this lack participation to protect Israel, as Netanyau was quoted as saying, "against this gang-up at the U.N.." For the first time in history, the USA totally manipulated the scenario that unfolded with Egypt making the motion for the vote, then withdrawing it, and then asking for the vote and the U.S. abstaining from it! My mouth still hasn't shut yet from gasping!

This is a clear battle set forth for land of which nobody actually has the right to dispute or dictate the "rights" of ownership except Israel herself! The land in question belongs to Israel. Always has. There is absolutely no reason the Nation of Israel should be told HOW to use their land and settlements nor should they be told IF it can be used at all. This land was Israel's for over 2,000 years and it's actually the land belonging to God Almighty, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. One of the staples and sacred of places that will be effected in this "vote" is The Kotel, or the Wailing Wall. It will now be considered Palestinian. It will no longer be permitted by the Jewish people to go pray at the wall, to offer thanks, prayer, celebration or visit this wall during the Appointed Times of Almighty God, His Feast Days. This was a spiteful, in some ways, hateful, action directed BY Obama, and exposes America as blatantly rejecting God. It ISN'T America rejecting God and Israel. It's the lost. It's those who don't believe. It's those who "blindly" hang on every single thread of "lies" that has been told about Israeli's, Israel and her land! Christians united all over in prayer against this action. We still stand united with Israel! The world may not care. The Children of God DO!

If you are professing to be a True, born-again, Christ Believer Christian you know, without a doubt, that Israel is God's chosen land and people and you will stand together with Her because when you stand with Her, you are with God! But, if you call yourselves "Christian" but stand AGAINST Israel or willfully became part of a religious organization that openly stands against Israel, (and there ARE many) then you are also standing against the Almighty God! Please remember that the church has NEVER replaced Israel. The "theology" and ideology of the church replacing Israel has been perpetuated by the lies of the enemy! You are either for God or against Him and you can't have it both ways. Joshua 24:14-15, "Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord! 15) And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." I'm concentrating on Israel in the beginning because 2016 seemed to have ended on that slap in the face to our dear friends in Israel! Israel is also the center of the end time events all throughout the Holy Bible! God's Word documents exactly how He's going to handle all of the nations who turn against Israel and God, as well as the individuals who do this. Clearly! The members of the UN, of the NATO member nations that are now covertly amassing troops in Syria, parts of Iran, and in Turkey? They are being lured into that place and the Almighty God will destroy them. How do we know this? It is clearly spoken of in numerous places in His Holy and Infallible Word. All those who are in opposition to the Nation of Israel, who are standing against her, are standing against the One True God. All roads do not lead to "God" as is being preached by the Jesuit Pope who is leading the Vatican and deceiving the masses that cling to every breath he takes. This seems to be a common teaching filtering down from the darkest of places. But, Jesus Christ was not, and IS NOT, a failure. It is forbidden for anyone to any man "Father" save the one, true Creator God the Father who is in heaven! NOT THE POPE!! That whole organization serves Satan and has lied and deceived the masses into believing what they spew from the viper's mouth.

With that said as the opener, I would like to take a few minutes to look back at some things that took place in 2016. It was a difficult year for me and it seemed as though the more I spoke out for the cause of Christ, the more trials came to me. I signed up for all when I surrendered to Him and asked to be used so I expected it but this past year was trying on many different levels. It's been that way for many others in His Kingdom as well. I won't spend time reflecting too much looking back in my life because that's what the enemy wants me to do and I refuse because I've already been promised by the Lord Jesus Christ that he has been defeated and that I have a future!!! In order to gain the future, we must not live in the past. And so, I don't. That's the place for Satan. That's where he lives and rules. He can't do anything new and if he can't do anything new, that means he has no control over my, or your, present or future. Only God is in control! I've learned many valuable lessons in 2016 and I've seen loss, pain, sorrow, hardships, trials, health issues and heartaches! But through it all, through every emotion, through every circumstance, through every prayer, I found comfort, joy, peace and love! I asked the Lord to get me through every second of every trial and teach me what I need to be taught. Show me things I need to see then equip me with the tools that I need to overcome! He did in every situation! Am I still going through my trials? Yes. Am I still struggling? Yes. Will I give up? I can't because Jesus won't let me! Will I lose hope? No because Jesus died on the Cross for me and it was that ultimate sacrifice that GAVE me Hope because I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that He is coming again and I will return to be with Him! I'm blessed! I'm being used for His glory and I'm seeing how paths cross for a reason. I'm seeing why I'm where I'm at right at this moment in my life. It's because HE wants me here! That's OK with me!

But, let's look at the year in the world of significant events that most of the MSM (main stream media) didn't report on, or if they did, it was brief in details. I'm going to get a little lengthy with the links because I feel it's important to see some of the headlines that might have easily been missed. The list is EXHAUSTIVE and lengthy to see everything pertinent that happened in just the span of 12 months! Obviously, I'm not going to go through each one, but in the times we are living in, I want you to see all of the broad range of subjects.

Now these are just a tiny fraction of the thousands of "hidden" headlines but as you can see, there hadn't been much reported in the MSM and these headlines are all signs pointing to a collapse and the coming New World Order. A world of control. Perilous times? I'd say so! We can't escape hearing the news or seeing it unfold right before our eyes or in some circumstances, experience it ourselves. The world has been fed so many lies disguised in "the betterment of the world" and "for the people's best interest" and almost brainwashed to some degree into believing it. In believing the lies of Satan, because that IS who is the Master of Deception, the people "blindly accept" whatever is said without thinking for themselves. But isn't that the way to gain control? Yes! Continue to feed the lies while slowly ripping away, layer by layer, the rights of the people, replacing the "truth" little by little and you have a wonderful recipe for CONTROL! My dear readers and friends, things just don't look good! These ARE perilous times......There are signs in the heavens as well as on earth and if you listen close enough, you can almost hear the earth crying out! So now is a good time to finish the FULL verse that I started above in 2 Timothy 3:1 and extending it through verse 5. 2 Timothy 3:1-5, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." I've made mention of these Scriptures several times of late as I, and many others around the world, sense a shift in dynamics. There's a shift in the whole way of things. And the 2 minute warning has been sounded......

Don't Be Caught Unaware!

You see, the Perilous times are here, and will only continue to get worse. It's horrible now, so can you imagine it getting worse? Well, it can and it will! Right now, all over the world, and in our country, there are protests abound, riots and uprisings all over the world today. The economy worldwide is in extreme trouble and the banking systems are nearing collapse. Everything just seems ready to explode! There are fear in men's hearts; increasing of knowledge of both Biblical and technological; there are earthquakes in divers places and increasingly in their intensity; false prophets, Christs and false teachers; destruction of the earth (evidenced by massive animal die-off's and pollution in our oceans); the ability to enforce the Mark of the Beast (partly accomplished through a cashless society so the mark can be used to buy and sell); there will be famine; wickedness and sin is rampant; great falling away; Gog-Magog players are getting ready; the gay agenda has turned blatant; the predicted rise in the persecution of Christians and Jews intensified; technology giants came against righteousness once again, from Facebook,YouTube, Google to Twitter. All of this plays into the hands of the beast power who can bring the "solution" to the troubles of this world. Order out of "chaos." But that solution? It will be a deception that sweeps many away. Do you have eyes to see what is happening all around you? Things are falling right into place. Perfectly as predicted and prophesied in the Inerrant Holy Word of God!

But it’s two minute warning time. It’s two minute warning time. Jesus is coming soon. You see, when the warning sounds, things are critical! It's becomes extremely important in the way you play the game because you can't be lax during that time. You can't afford to be! In fact, you must not be casual during the 2 minute warning either because too much is at stake! Think about it for a minute. There's too much to be won but there's more to be lost! Nobody likes to be on the losing end of the game. So every player must be prepared to play the game the best that they can, to endure through the hard hits and the fumbled balls. They must study the moves of their opponents. They must keep focused on what they must do to win the game. Perseverance is key. Let's take a look a little more at how people will be lovers of pleasure and of themselves. All one needs to do is take a swift look around today and see the end times is being fulfilled. In 2 Timothy 3: 2-5, it states boldly, "For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." Now take notice that it says people will be lovers of PLEASURE more than lovers of God, and that they SEEM to be Godly, but in reality they are Christians by name only. Well, I'd say if you were honest with yourselves, you've seen some of these very people parading around the places you visit, work, shop, go to church at or even inside of your own family. This is unfortunately a perfect description of the church today. It's a sad thing to see someone profess to be a Christian in name only but live their lives by the flesh, by worldly standards and are just empty shells of a person. There are quite a few professing Christians masquerading around today who are more interested in the TV, sports, partying, socializing, playing games etc, than they are in following Christ Jesus. That's the world today. Pleasure has replaced relationships with Jesus Christ and with each other! This society, this generation, has become so "self" focused, so prideful, boastful and full of disobedience that it's quite hard to NOT see what's going on!

Matthew 24:14, "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." This is good news!! I want to point something out in this verse though that many people overlook! It's just ONE simple, but POWERFUL word. "THIS." It says, "THIS gospel" will be preached. Not just any old Gospel, full of fluff and stuff to be preached around the world. NO!!! He said, THIS GOSPEL! The ONE, TRUE and ONLY Gospel will be preached in all the world! "This Gospel" means TRUE gospel! This true gospel is being preached through this website and many other websites, lest we not forget from behind the pulpit of sound doctrine churches; through sound doctrinal teachers on tv and radio. The True Gospel IS out there but in the times we are in right now, they are being smothered out and it's wise to be careful where you go to church, who you follow to get taught and what you listen to! The gospel of Jesus Christ, the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ, is now reaching the far ends of the world and the return of Jesus is in sight. Coupled with this is found in Daniel 12:4, "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase." This particular verse concerning the end times can actually have two applications. The first is applied to the Biblical knowledge concerning Bible prophecy. Since 1844, the truth of Bible prophecy has been opened up to God's people all over the world, like never before! He now has a remnant church with the full Gospel truth. The second application is of course what we all see is that of worldly knowledge. Take one quick breath and technology changes AGAIN. Faster, smarter, smaller. Just look at how much technology has rapidly developed and advanced over the past 50 years and then just look at the past 10 years! It's at an alarming rate! We have seen an incredible increase of knowledge there and with that incredulous increase comes the ability to spread more of the Gospel further and wider.

The predicted rise of evil continues to unfold and be brought to light as it is foretold in II Timothy 3:13, "But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived." In the latter part of 2016, a new "term" was introduced to the mass public: "Spirit Cooking." This is WAY too dark for me to delve into or write about and is NOT for the sensitive in spirit, mind or soul! It goes along with the Podesta files that were leaked and uncovered within the emails were references to a Satanic cult and rituals. You can Google the information if you choose to do so but I will warn, it is disturbing! I briefly wrote and referenced the scandal and also put a disclaimer in the post. This "spirit cooking" is borne out of the occult followers of Satanist Aleister Crowley, who has influenced MANY of the rich and famous stars, singers, well-to-do-ers, high profile politicians and so on! It would have most definitely entered the White House and Oval Office had Hillary Clinton won the election. I am not so sure it hasn't though because the Podesta emails were pretty explicit and the connections he has and who he's aligned himself with, is numerous! But as for the actual "spirit cooking" itself, that would've entered into the White House for sure! Connecting the dots isn't hard to do in this if you just take a little time and research it yourself and use your own mind and ability instead of letting the MSM tell you what they want you to know! It is well known, and has been well known among many for YEARS, that many in the Clinton campaign were cheerleaders for this evil and were cheerleaders for evil in general.

I am warning everyone that what we just came through in just 2016 alone, will not compare to what lays ahead. God is still in control. I am not making predictions or setting dates or none of that stuff. I'm seeing a new change and there may be a lull in the monstrosity of evil and the unraveling of the end times signs, but never be caught off guard! Never be caught unaware! Be always on guard! Arm yourselves with knowledge and don't fall away from the very one who Love's you unconditionally! During this new year, this coming year, there are areas in our lives that we need to pay closer attention to more than ever before!

1) Our prayer life!
2) Our heart!
3) Our walk with God!
4) Our relationship with Jesus Christ!
5) Our attitude!
6) The WAY we think!
7) Our Faith and Trust!

So why would I say that now? Because it’s two minute warning time. Jesus is coming soon.

Luke 21:7-11, "So they asked Him, saying, "Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?" 8) And He said: "Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and, 'The time has drawn near.' Therefore do not go after them. 9) But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately." 10) Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11) And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven." 

Please make sure you're ready! For more information on Salvation and how to be saved, you can read more about it in a blog article that I wrote here. It's called "Simple Salvation." He is waiting for your call and He will meet you wherever you are, whenever you call His name! Don't have your earplugs in when the end of the game nears....
