The World’s Coming Nuclear Holocaust – A Biblical Perspective
“For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape (1 Thess. 5:2, 3).” Good Intentions... Lead to Destruction In the news of late, President Obama’s 47-nation nuclear summit met in Washington D.C. to discuss the reduction of nuclear weapons, dealing with nuclear terrorism and nuclear retaliation regulations. As Obama and these nations have made their “pledges” for nuclear reduction, the secular liberal media have added their praises and accolades in an attempt to persuade and deceive many about the delusional prospects of world peace. In the time coming up the global mantra will be peace, peace… then sudden destruction! (See 1 Thess. 5:3) - Nuclear Blast Video - link ,"The foolish and delusional good intentions of these world leaders must have the tyrannical fascists of the world smacking their lips at their idiotic and gullible gestures" , In the face of such folly, one must laugh. The foolish and delusional good intentions of these world leaders must have the tyrannical fascists of the world smacking their lips at their idiotic and gullible gestures. The stark reality of this situation is that since we live in a fallen world (Romans 1:18-32; 3:23; 5:12-19), it is not possessed by mankind to live in peace and harmony (Psalm 14:1-3). The “I’d like to buy the world a coke” philosophy of these naive dreamers is the very substance that world dictators prey on and then devour. In 6,000 years of human history, there has only been a blip of space where people have not been at war with one other. It is America’s strong nuclear presence that has been the main deterrent from attack by the enemies of freedom against us and our allies. This has been - under the auspices of Divine Providence - the main reason why we have NOT yet seen a global nuclear war, including any detonation of a nuclear weapon against a sovereign nation since 1945. As Ronald Reagan so soberly stated: “Since the dawn of the atomic age, we've sought to reduce the risk of war by maintaining a strong deterrent and by seeking genuine arms control. Deterrence means simply this: Making sure any adversary who thinks about attacking the United States or our allies or our vital interests concludes that the risks to him outweigh any potential gains. Once he understands that, he won't attack. We maintain the peace through our strength. Weakness only invites aggression. This strategy of deterrence has not changed. It still works.”Almighty God’s Providential Hand
The world at present has forsaken and abandoned the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. Our nation has also forsaken Almighty God and His Natural Laws, and because of that we are at the precipice of a total social and moral collapse. Never before have we been so morally weak and vulnerable to attack. Once America’s restraining power is removed from the world stage, there will be absolutely nothing to stop the godless deluge of secular oppression, tyranny and global anti-Semitism that will follow in its absence. As the world’s conservative Judean/ Christian influence is being readily and rapidly removed, the restraining Dam of Natural Laws will burst and the flood of lawlessness and secularism will devour the whole earth (Isaiah 24; Matt. 5:13, 24; Rev. 6-19). . "There has NOT been a nuclear holocaust or a single nuclear bomb attack since 1945 is because of the absolute sovereignty and providential management of Almighty God over this fallen world" . It is this writer’s personal opinion that the real reason there has NOT been a nuclear holocaust or a single nuclear bomb attack since 1945 is because of the absolute sovereignty and providential management of Almighty God over this fallen world. He is saving this global carnage by the wrath of man for a time called the Tribulation Period or Day of the Lord (Matt. 24; Rev. 6:1-8; 9:14-18). The Coming Global Nuclear Holocaust
A popular prophetic question that is always asked is, “Is nuclear war mentioned in the Bible, and if so, when will it take place?” Nuclear war is not mentioned specifically in the Holy Scriptures, but in looking at the context of events pertaining to the last days, we can see without a doubt that it has to take place, and the devastation that results is inconceivable. Again, it is only due to the merciful hand of Almighty God that our fallen world has been preserved intact and all the madmen bent on its destruction held in check. Lucifer’s mad designs and man’s violent tendencies have been kept at bay until the given time (Isaiah 14:16-17; Eph. 2:1; Rev. 20:3a). Today’s global arsenal of nuclear weapons makes the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki look like little firecrackers in comparison. The devastation unleashed by these doomsday weapons will be horrific. For example - the Tsar 50 megaton bomb. Once these catastrophic weapons of destruction are let loose, billions will perish. As we shall later see, man’s thirst and appetite for power and control will fill the 7-year Tribulation Period with catastrophic devastation and horrendous carnage unparalleled in the annals of human history (Matt 24:21, James 4:1-3). In a matter of hours, these events will dramatically change the global political landscape and structure of the world as we currently know it. In the horrific wake of the world’s global nuclear decimation, the inhabitants still alive on the earth will be left dumbstruck. A total seizure of power first requires a brutal and bloody war. This desensitizes and eliminates any organized threat from the populace. Lucifer (the devil) knows this and will seek to fill peoples’ hearts with hatred, bitterness and rage. He will use all of this narcissistic rage, inconsolable grief and total hatred to establish HIS throne and to wage war on Almighty God (Rev. 9:20-21; 16:11). At this time Lucifer will stoke the wrath of man into a full-blown rebellion against his Creator and all who are called by Almighty God (Rev. 13). He will channel their rage and hatred in waging war against Almighty God and His new followers in the Messiah and Savior of the world (Rev. 11:2-10; 13:7; 17:12-14). Nuclear War is just one aspect of the horrific events that will transpire during the Tribulation Period. This does not include the global natural disasters, supernatural judgments, demonic oppression and tyranny which will also take place alongside nuclear war (Matt. 24; Rev. 6-19). The awesome and frightful realities of global carnage, natural disasters, demonic possession and supernatural judgments will open wide the door for Lucifer and his master fascist (the Anti-Christ) to deceive, seize, exploit and conquer the world for their ultimate goal and design: worship from and absolute power over the entire world (2 Thess. 2:3-4; Rev. 13:4, 8, 12). . "In a matter of hours, these events will dramatically change the global political landscape and structure of the world as we currently know it" Let us look and see what the Holy Scripture states emphatically about the future global nuclear war which is at the very “doorstep.” The Scripture states that in the first part (or 3 1/2 years) of the 7 year tribulation, one fourth or about 1.75 BILLION PEOPLE will be annihilated by war and its consequences. A Full One Fourth! .And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth (Rev. 6:1-8). The Holy Scripture states that following soon after the “Four Horsemen War” of this period which destroys one fourth ( 1.75 billion people) of the world’s population (Rev. 6:1-8), there will be an even far more horrendous war to follow. This second great global war, which is incited by the release of four demonic hellions will cause one third of the global population (or another 1.75 BILLION PEOPLE) to be destroyed. Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand (200,000,000): and I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths (Rev. 9:14-18). These two brief global nuclear wars - The “Four Horsemen” War and the “Quad-Demonic” War - will decimate the world’s social landscape and remove over half (or 3.5 BILLION PEOPLE) of the world’s human population in a very short time period during the first half of the seven-year Tribulation Period. How sobering is that! What Obama’s Nuclear Summit should have addressed was the importance Almighty God and having a saving relationship to Him in light of the coming global nuclear holocaust. The “war pigs” of power of fallen man are coming soon to your neighborhood! . "The “Four Horsemen” War and the “Quad-Demonic” War - will decimate the world’s social landscape and remove over half (or 3.5 BILLION PEOPLE) of the world’s human population in a very short time" . According to Almighty God’s Holy Word, this global devastation brought on by wicked men - and allowed by Almighty God - must take place. Nothing can or will stop this coming global holocaust. It is the only destiny and destination of fallen man and his evil heart (Isa. 57:20; 59:8; Amos 3:10; James 4:2). / Here He Comes!
During this time when man is pummeled and ravished by global war, the nations of the world and its remaining inhabitants will already have abandoned Almighty God’s natural laws and been given over to their unbridled passions and godless philosophies (2 Thess. 2:9-12). That is why this time is also called the Time of Lawlessness (2 Thess. 2:7-12). In rampant unbelief these will look for a man (not God) to be their savior. They will thus believe “the Lie” (2 Thess. 2:11-12), and look to Lucifer as their god and the Man of Lawlessness (Anti-Christ) as their savior. In their allegiance to Lucifer and his Anti-Christ, the haters of reality and righteousness will “sign over” their eternal souls and face the awesome consequences of perdition (destruction) in the Lake of Fire forever (Rev. 13:16; 14:9-11). One can just imagine the absolute height of insanity of the world’s population at this time as they seal and surrender their eternal destinies to the brief tyrannical aspirations of Lucifer and his Anti-Christ (Rev. 13:4-18). These will be loyal to their Master’s bidding and seek to eradicate any who contradict the fascist designs of the New World Order (Dan 7:21; Rev. 13:7; 17:12-14). The Reality of the Righteous
Apart from the saving grace of Almighty God, there is absolutely NO HOPE for this fallen world! Such faith in fallen man is just blind, wishful thinking and a naive idiocy that becomes the height of insanity (2 Thess. 2:10-12). What will it take for individuals to realize this? It takes the abandonment of one’s own perception and human thinking, a boldness to look outside of the box and have faith in Almighty God and His Word. It is only when we choose to believe God and His Word that we will see the realities of time and eternity. It is only then that we will embrace His great love for us and begin to comprehend the wonders of His grace (Rom. 2:4; Eph. 1:7; 2:7). How sobering it is to all who reject God’s love and choose to abide in their transgressions forever! This is graphically depicted in the artist’s illustration of Dante’s Inferno, whose sign reads at the gates of the Lake of fire: ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE! Won’t you make the right decision to choose life instead of death, blessing instead of cursing (Deut. 30:19)? Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? If you do not, call on Him today. It is in Him alone that we have the forgiveness of sins and are granted everlasting life. As this down-spiraling world comes to its climatic end, may your faith and trust be found resting solely in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. You will never be the same, and you will never regret that momentous decision! The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! DJP I.F. Edited by BEL I.F.

Where is America in Biblical Prophecy?
A resounding question asked by many today is, “Where is America in Biblical prophecy?” The simple answer is that our nation will still exist, but our military power and socio-economic position will have been reduced into a godless, base nation at that time. When Christ calls His Church out of the world by means of the Rapture, our nation will implode on itself (2 Thess. 2:7). Any remnant of restraint by Conservatives will then be removed, and our demise will arise by means of civil war and lawlessness - even nuclear destruction - to a state of total social collapse and anarchy. The prophetic words and warnings of our Founding Fathers against the violation of Almighty God’s natural laws will come to pass. America will reap a whirlwind of consequences from her godless doings, and tyranny and oppression will fill the vacuum once filled with justice and the rule of law. . "America will be absorbed into the coming European “Super Global Empire” of the Anti-Christ to go against Almighty God at the Great Battle of Armageddon" The reception and outworking of godless secularism and “unnatural” laws will plunge America into a third world nation status from which it will not recover. No more will America be the nation that resists and restrains global secular fascism and oppression. No more will we be a beacon of light to all the world’s oppressed. No more will we be the world’s guardian against oppressive dictators and thugs, for we will be transformed into the very thing that our Founding Fathers prophetically warned us about. In the end, America will be absorbed into the coming European “Super Global Empire” of the Anti-Christ to go against Almighty God at the Great Battle of Armageddon (Zech. 12:3, 14:2, Rev. 16:13-16). Many do not want to conceive this reality and deceive themselves with optimistic lies and falsehoods. See Chart Link The Final Countdown As this age draws to its final conclusion, and as the sobering realities of this appraisal are showing themselves everywhere today, may we not be oblivious to the countless signs and warnings bells at present of what is coming (Luke 21:34; 1 Thess. 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10; Rev. 16:15). For a brief 400 years in the 6,000 years of world history, America was a sign post pointing the entire world to the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. With its rule of law and Judean/ Christian heritage, America was a mighty dam holding back global oppression and tyranny. No other nation in the world’s history has done more to send out the Glorious Gospel light to the oppressed prisoners and captives of Satan’s tyrannical Kingdom (Hebrews 2:14-15). The last flickers of America’s light have nearly gone out and the flax is near smoldering. These current realities must be acknowledged by all before it is too late to even notice. "The last flickers of America’s light have nearly gone out and the flax is near smoldering. These current realities must be acknowledged by all before it is too late to even notice" Almost 2,000 years ago, Almighty God sent His Son from Heaven’s glory to come down to earth to pay the price for man’s disobedience and transgression against Almighty God’s perfectly righteous standards and holy absolutes (Romans 10:4, 1 Peter 1:19, 3:18). In these last days the Spirit of God is calling out to men and women through out the world to repent and be saved from the wrath to come (John 3:16,17). Will you have an ear to hear? America is like a fractured dam ready to give way at any moment. What will there be after she does? The chief end of all Americans and the world is to possess a saving relationship to Almighty God in spirit and truth in perfect righteousness (Eccl 12:13-14, Gal 1:4 , 1 John 2:17). May I ask you this very pertinent and urgent question? Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s propitiation (a payment that yields satisfaction) for man’s transgressions (1 John 2:2), as your PERSONAL Savior? If not, may you do so today. Nothing is more crucial in these last days. Time is but for a moment while eternity is forever. The things of Almighty God will abide forever, America will not. Will you trust Him Today? The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand! DJP I.F. Edited by BEL I.F.

America's True Tyranny In Light of the Tax Day Tea Parties
(In light of the National Tea Party for 4/15)In the days leading up to the American Revolution, the Boston Tea Party was a direct action protest against the British government by British-American subjects in the Massachusetts Bay colony of Boston. On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists dressed up as Native American Indians boarded these ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor. This event remains one of the most memorialized historic events to transpire in U.S. history, and it has been recently referenced due to excessive U.S. government growth and its outrageous spending. "We must do all we can, of course, but our hope and expectation must derive from Almighty God. In Him alone is there true deliverance in light of the oncoming tyranny at hand" Today we have seen an exponential growth of Government and Taxation unprecedented in any other time in our 400-year history. Today, Big Government is reaching into every facet of our life, and no one or no thing is safe from the brand and bondage. As our God given freedoms and moral rights are being aggressively removed by this constitutionally apostate President and Congress, we Americans find ourselves facing a new kind of Governmental tyranny and bondage from which we likely will never be liberated. We must do all we can, of course, but our hope and expectation must derive from Almighty God. In Him alone is there true deliverance in light of the oncoming tyranny at hand.
A Far Greater Tyranny
The Lord Jesus talked of a far greater tyranny to man than Big Government, excessive taxation, burdensome mandates and ceaseless intrusions into the lives of its citizens.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant [slave] of sin (John 8:34).
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned - For if by one man's offence death reigned by one - That as sin hath reigned unto death (Rom. 5:12, 17a, 21a).
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? (Rom. 7:24)
(Other verses: Job 14:1-4, Psalm 51:5, Eph 2:1-3, Rom. 3:23, 5:12, 17a, 21, 7:14-25)
Satan's Oppressive Rule Over Fallen Mankind
And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage (Heb. 2: 13-15).
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him (Acts 10:38).
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others (Eph. 2:1-3).
[In light of Lucifer, i.e., Satan] That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? (Is. 14:17)
(Other verses: 2 Cor. 4:4, Luke 4:6-7, Rev.12,13) True Freedom and Deliverance
Only in Christ is there great freedom and deliverance from the bondage of Satan and our human depravity, and the terrible consequences of the outworking of sin (John 8:32, 36, Rom. 7:24-25; Heb 2:14-16). Humanity has never and will never be able to govern itself, not in this fallen world. Tyranny and the unbridled passions of man will always win the day. Six thousand years of human history has testified to that fact. Our Founding Fathers realized that truth, and that only a moral and God-fearing people would ever have a chance of outworking the kind of human government that could check the depraved appetites of fallen humanity while preserving the basic liberties and freedoms endowed by their Creator. We as a nation today have discarded a sense of healthy morals and ethical guidelines, and are sadly reaping the tyrannical social consequences. Oppressive tyranny is not too far off here in America. When this tyranny and its fearful ramifications fully manifest themselves, what then? "We as a nation today have discarded a sense of healthy morals and ethical guidelines, and are sadly reaping the tyrannical social consequences" Ask yourself this very simple question. How can an imperfect humanity who lives in an imperfect world bring about an absolutely perfect “Utopian” society? (see Romans 7:24) The answer is a no-brainer yet extremely hard for humanity to digest: it never can. The only hope and deliverance for humanity today is found in its wonderful Creator and Redeemer, The Lord Jesus Christ.
Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior today? Only He can deliver you from the oppressive tyranny of Satan and the World System. He is the only deliverer from our bondage to Sin and all its awful consequences (Rom. 6:23). He has come to set at liberty the sons of men (Rom. 4:17,18, 6:14,17-18, 22, 7: 24-25, 8:2,21, Gal. 5:1, Eph 4:8). May it be your sincere desire to put your trust in Him today!
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32).
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (John 8:36).
The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand!

The True Fools of April Fools Day
Today in America we have no shortage of fools. That is an obvious no- brainer. A fool is - in the Biblical sense - a stupid, wicked (especially impious), or vile person; fool(- ish, - ish man, - ish woman). A scoffer or reprobate, a despiser of Almighty God and all that is truly good. The secular definition of fool is: one who is deficient in judgment, sense, or understanding. In both cases we see that the fool is a sound rejecter of the Laws of Nature, and of Nature's God. n What is Foolishness to Whom?
Conservatives, conservatism, and the adherence to and acknowledgment of natural and moral laws are absolute foolishness to the secular-progressive, liberal mindset (a.k.a. “the Left”). On the other hand, the abandonment or rejection of natural and moral laws (social/ fiscal), crucial conservative ideals and their foundational roots (found in Judean/ Christian absolutes) are absolute foolishness to the conservative mindset (a.k.a. “the Right”). . "The height of foolishness is found where these two enemies have a common bond uniting them together."
. The height of foolishness is found where these two enemies have a common bond uniting them together. Their “common thread” is in standing against foundational Biblical Christianity and its teachings of Jesus Christ. Both the Left and the Right have their own personal perceptions of what “Christianity” is, but they reject in unison - the Left exceedingly far more than many on the Right - the total authority and reality of Almighty God’s divinely inspired book, the Bible, and its call to repentance and salvation by grace alone which comes solely by faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1, Eph. 2:8-9). They outright reject Almighty God’s Word or seek to make it a common book and marginalize its divine message. This foundational reality they will not receive (Matt 7:24-27; John 14:17, 1 Cor. 1:18). An Example - The Political Parties of Jesus’ Day
Historically speaking, the Sadducees and the Pharisees of Jesus day were bitter political enemies, but when it came to the reality of who Jesus Christ was, both groups united together to crucify and rid themselves of their chief rival (Matt. 3:7; 16:1, 6, 12; Mark 14:10, 53; 15:10-11; Luke 23:10; John 7:48). That Sadducees were "the Left" of their day, rejecting the Holy Scriptures and a great majority of the Biblical truths, much as liberal, “professing” Christians do today (Mark 12:18; Luke 23:10; Acts 5:17; 23:8). The Pharisees were the conservative political party in Israel at the time of the earthly ministry of Christ, adhering to the moral and natural laws rooted in Mosaic Law, and promoting a salvation and spirituality based in traditional fables and legalism (law keeping). Just like today, these conservatives (Pharisees) were a minority during this period, i.e., around 30 - 33 A.D. (Matt. 5:20; 12:14; 15:1, 12; 23:2; Mark 7:5; Luke 5:21; 11:43; 15:2; 18:4). Who Are the Fools in Almighty God’s Eyes?
Let's take a look at what the Bible, Almighty God’s Word, states about the fools who reject Almighty God and His Absolute Authority. The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good (Palms 14:1).
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools (Romans 1:21-22).
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it (Matt. 7:26-27).
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? (Luke 12:18-20) As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly (Prov. 26:11). But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned (1 Cor. 2:14). Fools for the King of Kings
The world today calls fools those who have received Christ as their personal Savior and are thus His ministers (servants), and they scoff at them and their evangelistic message (i.e., the gospel).
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence (1 Cor. 1:27-29).
We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honorable, but we are despised (1 Cor. 4:10).
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus (Acts 4:13).
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness (1 Cor. 3:18-19).
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (1 Cor. 1:18-20)
Are You Foolish Enough to Follow Christ or Foolish Enough to Reject Him?
God’s Infallible Word sets before all just who are the fools and who are the wise. The wisdom and rudiments of this world are passing away, and only those things wrought (done) in and for Christ will abide forever (1 Cor. 7:31; 2 Peter 3:13; 1 John 2:17). It is up to us to humble ourselves before Almighty God’s Eternal Person, wisdom and righteousness, and to be obedient to His command to repent of our transgressions against His eternal spiritual absolutes and natural laws (Acts 17:13; Romans 3:23; 10:2-4; James 1:21). All will have to give an account to Him in that Day for what we have done in our lives (Matt. 12:36; 1 Peter 4:4-5). If we think that we in our own merit can stand before Him blameless and perfect, we will indeed be the greatest of fools for all eternity (Rom. 14:10-11; Eph. 2:8-9; Rev. 20:11-15). . "If we think that we in our own merit can stand before Him blameless and perfect, we will indeed be the greatest of fools for all eternity." ,; God saw our desperate need for His righteousness and for deliverance from the tyranny and bondage of our transgressions (Rom. 7:24-25). These have separated us from Him and have brought His wrath upon us (John 3:36; Gal. 1:4; Eph. 2:1-2, 14). In His great eternal love Almighty God sent forth His only Son from Heaven’s glory to pay the price for our transgressions, to be our propitiation and to rescue us from the eternal ramifications of our transgressions and godless folly (John 3:16-17; Rom. 7:24-25; Gal. 1:4; Eph 2:14; 1 John 2:2). This April Fools Day may you cast off your foolish pride and receive God’s Savior of your soul, the Lord Jesus Christ. He alone can deliver us from the wrath to come (Acts 4:12). He alone can deliver you from the eternal judgment on transgressors (Acts 10:43; Gal. 1:4; 1 Tim. 2:5). He alone truly loves you and has given Himself to be your propitiation to satisfy all of Almighty God’s righteous and eternal absolutes (Rom. 3:25; 4:25; 5:8; 8:32; Eph. 5:2; 1 John 2:2; 4:10). Do NOT be a fool and die in your trespassess and sins. Almighty God has sent His son to make you wise indeed! /"But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption." (1 Cor. 1:30) , Edited by BEL I.F.
