Nation Will Rise Against Nation

Nation Will Rise Against Nation

"For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. And There will be famines, Pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.    Matthew 24:7

“We’ve been hearing these words for thousands of years and it hasn’t happened yet.” Many people agree with this, however, they are not Believers of the Word of God.  I have yet to understand how millions of people go to church every Sunday, but think they are qualified to pick and choose what parts of the Bible are true.  If you don’t believe in a Virgin Birth, then why would you believe the Bible at all? The third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, came to us as a Comforter.  How can you believe that spooky story?  No one ever saw Him or heard him speak, so why would you believe it? 

Guess what, you just threw out the basics of the New Testament if you don’t believe that the Bible speaks the truth.  If you do not believe in the Word of God I suggest you literally throw the Bible in the garbage and never go to church again. However, there will come a day of reckoning when Jesus returns and to those who don’t believe he will say, “I never knew you.”

I will get responses from those who don’t believe the Bible and they will say, “You are too hard on us. We believe in God.”  Guess what, so does Satan, the enemy of our soul, “You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble! James 2:19   It takes more than just believing in God to be a Christian.  The Bible couldn't be any clearer than this, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 That is, unless you don’t believe in what the Bible says.

I wrote last week on all the disasters going on in America and it isn’t over yet. There are so many dead in Mexico after two major earthquakes and today was another 6.1 tremor. Hurricane Marie has literally wiped out Puerto Rico. What is coming next?  These things have happened before, but now they are happening harder and oftener.

We can’t disregard all these ‘nations coming against nation’.  Right now we are not sure what is going to happen with N. Korea threatening us.  This is very serious and if you think nothing can touch us, you are very wrong. We read in the Bible “By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed--by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.” [Revelation 9:18]  What about the scripture in Rev. 8:7, “One-third of the earth was set on fire, one-third of the trees were burned, and all the green grass was burned.”  How could this happen except by a Nuclear Bomb?

Is this a dooms day message?  You bet it is, because something must wake up people whose heads are buried    in the sand. Someday this is what is going to happen; we don’t know when, but it is coming and it’s time to understand we must have our hearts right with Almighty God.  We need to know that when we die, we are going to go to heaven and live forever with Jesus Christ!  If your heart isn’t ready, you will not go to heaven but your outlook is Hell!  God didn’t put you in this situation – you did it to yourself.

I really don’t like doing a message like this but you need to hear it.  Look around you at the sinful lives people are living and in a time where ‘right’ seems wrong and ‘wrong’ seems right. Don’t believe all the lies that are coming at you today.  Even some preachers are teaching a watered down gospel; they are teaching that you are forgiven without repentance.  There are so many places in the Bible that talks about repentance and forgiveness that you need to study it if you think you don’t have to confess your sins to God.  In Luke 13:3 the Bible tells us “Unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”   

Please open your hearts today, repent and ask Jesus to be the Lord of your life.  It’s that simple and if you really believe it to be true, then today you just got saved and no matter what else happens, you will be with Jesus for eternity.  Don’t wait – we don’t know how much time we have left.
