The King Is Coming!

 

Massive animal deaths are occurring all around us.  The New Madrid fault is shaking again and we could see a major earthquake any day now.  Yellowstone Park has an active volcano underground that is ready to explode and take out major portions of the U.S.  The U.S. dollar is on life support and the plug could be pulled at any time.  Most major cities, most states and the United States are all bankrupt and cannot possibly get their books in the black again.  We are being over run by Islam and their violent religion as we have a pro-Islamic leader in the White House.  Immigration issues are a sore point and we have no way of knowing the origin or intent of those who have snuck into our country.  The illuminati/catholic/masonic/mafia/islamic/nazi/republican/democrat/christian/televangelist are taking over the world.

GOOD NEWS!!!

Yes, like you I am sick of hearing about all these things.  The constant barrage of internet posts of videos and articles are ad nausea.  I would love to shove Jesse Ventura into Alex Jones’ mouth.  Not really, I just feel that way sometimes.  It’s not that I don’t appreciate the information that is put forth, it’s just that sometimes too much information makes us lose sight of the main thing.  I have dear friends on Facebook that seem to thrive on the constant posting of these terrors.  I am not opposed to watching the signs or opposed to letting others know what time it is.  I am opposed to making these “signs” my religion.  The only good that comes out of knowing all these things it that it means our KING is soon coming.

When I was a kid in church I remember singing this song:

The King is coming, the King is coming
I just heard the trumpet sounding and soon His face I'll see
The King is coming, the King is coming
Praise God, He's coming for me

I realize this song was written as a pro pretrib rapture ballad, but lately this thought has been running through my head.  He IS coming, I will most likely live to hear the shofar sounding His return and I will see His face.

So all of the rhetoric over the bad news has got me thinking about the good news.

Luke 21:28 The Scriptures 1998+
(28)  “And when these matters begin to take place, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

Maybe we should ease up on hammering just the bad news.  Lets hammer the good new and sprinkle in the facts of the day.  King Yahshua ha Mashiach is coming.  That’s what people need to hear.  We don’t need to be like Chicken Little and run around screaming “the sky is falling, the sky is falling.”  We need to be thinking and talking about Good News.

Philippians 4:4-20 The Scriptures 1998+
(4)  Rejoice in YHWH always, again I say, rejoice!
(5)  Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Master is near.
(6)  Do not worry at all, but in every matter, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to Elohim.
(7)  And the peace of Elohim, which surpasses all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds through Messiah Yahshua.
(8)  For the rest, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is righteous, whatever is clean, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report, if there is any uprightness and if there is any praise – think on these.
(9)  And what you have learned and received and heard and saw in me, practice these, and the Elohim of peace shall be with you.
(10)  And I rejoiced in YHWH greatly that now at last your concern for me has revived again – though you were concerned, but had no chance.
(11)  Not that I speak concerning need, for I have learned to be content in whatever state I am.
(12)  I know what it is to be humbled, and I know what it is to have in excess. In any and every situation I have learned both to be filled, and to be hungry, both to have in excess, and to be in need.
(13)  I have strength to do all, through Messiah who empowers me.

It seems some of us who follow Yahshua are not thinking these “Good” things.  Maybe not everyone who focuses on the bad news of the day is affected by dwelling on those things.  However, in your wildest imaginations does the bad things in the current news meet the qualifications listed above? 

whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is righteous, whatever is clean, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report, if there is any uprightness and if there is any praise – think on these.

I can’t help but believe that if a person continuously feeds on the bad things around us they will be affected by those things.

 

We need Watchmen on the wall.  We need others pointing out prophesy as it is fulfilled.  What we don’t need is making every news story into the current terror among the brethren.

 

We are called to help find the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel.  That should be our number one job.  If we don’t know who the Lost Sheep are, we need to pray and study until we figure this foundational theme out.  We need to support one another and lift each other up in prayer.  We need the love of YHWH.

 

The KING is coming!!!
