What Of Today?

This day which we have come into, is filled with atrocities,  any thing different from the days ~before~ Christ,  or the days ~since~ Christ?  Man has been at war since the very beginning of his day here on this earth…  There has been ~evil~ people, nations which rejected The *Laws* of God our Heavenly Father,  AND YES,  our Heavenly Father JEHOVAH God has been here since ~Before~ the beginning of mankind, even though there are many folk which believe we just happened up in a burst…  Two rocks collided and a tiny one celled ~animal~ popped out and evolved into us, and because it is people of earthly authority which say this, well *IT* just has to be true, as opposed to an OLD BOOK, which was written and accounted for many years ago and translated into many languages, preserved down through the ages, by WHOM?  Mankind? OR A Higher Power?   Many folks tend to forget, ignore, or  are just plain indifferent to the fact  that  IT IS God which made mankind,  all of us,  BY the hand of HIS Son Jesus Christ, as we know Him Now,  but in the beginning, Jesus was The Word… 
(Ephesians 3:9) And to  make ~all~ men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, WHO created  ~all things~  *BY*  Jesus Christ:
(John 1:1-5)… In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God, and The Word was God… 2 .The same was in the beginning with God. 3. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made . 4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Sometimes I think the nations are so busy fighting that they don’t take the time to think, even wonder of THE POWER that IS ~Greater~  than  their leader, their plan of battle, their atheistic ways, or their armies. I cannot exclude ~ANY~ nation from this high-minded self image, rallied on by the patrons waving the flags which represent the soil on which God, THE Creator has allowed them to stand..  Humble ain’t in their vocabulary, much less in their hearts and minds, and  ~the darkness cannot comprehend the Light~… 
But then, Jesus said ~ALL~ these things shall be:
(Matthew 24: 7-15) .. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All * these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall ~they~ deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall ~kill you~: and ~ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake~. 10 And then shall many be offended , and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise , and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound , the love of many shall wax cold . 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved . 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth , let him understand.)
SOOOoooo…. Can we expect these things which are happening now?  We are not left in the dark as to what is happening,  nor to what is going to happen,  BUT,  we are instructed to ~Be Prepared for what Will Be….  As in Being prayed up and stayed up in God’s suit of amour Which HE Lovingly supplied for us… That ~Same~ Suit that so many reject, and gag at…
The ~armed forces~ of the nations are exalted and praised  much more  than The Creator.  On many days and occasions even in The Houses set aside specifically for the gathering of the people to ~worship, praise, and honor, the Father through HIS Son Jesus Christ, led by The Holy Ghost…  IS not this an abomination?  IS It Not Written in Both The Old Days and The New of What God expects HIS children to do?  OH,  *IT* seems good, the compassionate thing to do,  it shows ~love~, but what kind?  The LOVE of God or the love of mankind’s traditions?
(Jeremiah 26: 2-6)…Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD'S house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD'S house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word: 3 If so be they will hearken , and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings. 4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you, 5 To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early , and sending them, but ye have not hearkened ; 6 Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
(Mark 11:17 KJV)..  And he taught , saying unto them, Is it not written , My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
(John 2: 14-16) And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting : 15 And when he (Jesus) had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; 16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
All that IS Written points toward keeping  God’s Houses Clean of ALL things of the world, not using them for gain, lifting up anyone or anything above The Father in them,  or mocking our Heavenly Father in any way…
This world always has been and IS Still filled with  pagans of all different beliefs… Those which lift up images of false gods, tattoo their bodies for the dead, follow Satanic cults,  lift up prayers and murmurings to men that lived but are now lying in the dust of the earth, for they ~Are Not~ risen… ONLY  One has risen, and that IS Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God… Oh, there are folks which will read this and call IT “absurd,” believe and state that this is a narrow minded point of view,  but they, as am I, are entitled to their opinion and I stand on my convictions… Since I ~have~ been there in the darkness, and Thank THE LORD, HE showed me the Light to follow, so I can’t think freely or be open minded in this world, to accept any and every belief that man can come up with by their own ~modern or new wave religions,~ nor can I stand in the shoes of:  “all about me,” and how strong  “I”  am, that “I” can make  “my own” way…
So All of that leads me to say:  this world is in a big mess, from the top dog to the lowliest of folk… There IS only ~one~ way out,  and IT IS inevitable.. We are all headed to a point in which we *Will* part paths… when we stand before the Great Throne of Judgment and The Book IS Read,  and we go to our eternal destination… SO  why do we follow so firmly the ways of the world,  when we have been warned that this is the path which leads down into the fiery pit?  Oh, and by the way,  *IF*, I have followed the ~wrong path~ by standing firmly on faith in The Grand Creator,  when this life is over then I Will Die and this body return to the dust, will I be any different than those which believe in all the false teachings?  I like them WILL Still have NO control over life or death… BUT God Does and Will.
(Philippians 2:14-16).. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of ~a crooked and perverse nation,~ among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.  
AND The Church of ALL Places should remain free from the tangles of the world led by Satan and his followers..  Clean of all praise and honor of  the things which stand, “According TO:  AS IT IS Written”,  in opposition of  all that IS Holy,  led and sanctioned by the adversary which we are called to fight against….
(John 18:36 KJV)…Jesus answered , My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight , that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
(Acts 5:39 KJV)…But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
(1 Timothy 6:12 KJV)…Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called , and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
