WOMEN WITH DISCRETION OR A SWINE’S SNOUT

by

WOMEN OF DISCRETION

women

By Ken Blue

“As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.” Proverbs 11:22.

 

Few men can resist beautiful women. The only answer is found in the Proverbs; He must avoid her house and listen to wisdom’s cry.

If the fair woman without discretion could look at herself in the mirror, she would see a swine with an ornament of gold in its snout staring back at her. What a fit description of every woman who is empty of God’s grace and wisdom on the inside.

Beauty is not a sin; it is an adornment of God to be used for His glory. How revolting most of the beautiful women are when seen as God sees them. As the swine has no interest or concern for the jewel of gold, it plows through the mud and mire, so the woman lacking in the inward adornment has no knowledge of her own state. Many a beautiful form enshrines a revolting mind. The garb that most young women wear today advertises that a vain mind dwells within.

Young women, fill your inward soul on the wisdom of God and you will have true and lasting beauty. Look in the mirror and acknowledge what you see. Is a swine looking back at you? “Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.” Proverbs 31:30. “As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.” Proverbs 11:22.

THE RAPTURE OF THE SAVED

by

THE RAPTURE IN THE BIBLE

By Ken Blue

We are not shaken or disturbed by the scoffers. Their unbelief and scoffing mean nothing to us. I must place my faith in their unbelief or in the infallible Word of God; I choose the latter. The rapture is a Bible truth and will happen in God’s appointed time.

The word rapture nowhere appears in Scripture, but the truth is everywhere. It means to be caught up or away. “ But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this, we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-57.

There are several raptures in scripture.

  1. The first that is recorded is that of Enoch. (Gen. 5:24; Heb. 11:5.)
  2. Elijah. (2 Kings 2:11).
  3. Jesus. (Acts 1:9,10.)
  4. Paul. (2 Cor. 12:2,3.)
  5. The church. (1 Thess. 4:13.)
  6. The 144,000. (Rev. 14:2.)

There is no question about the teaching of the Bible; the rapture is a Scriptural truth. So, let not your heart be troubled. No one knows when the rapture of the church will happen, but you can be sure it will. You must get ready by trusting Jesus Christ as your Savior. See Romans 10:9-13 for answers.

HAROLD CAMPING PLAYS THE ACES UP HIS SLEEVE

by

Harold Camping Changes Course

In my blog of May 16th titled SNEAKY SNAKE, I told a follower of Camping to keep those aces up his sleeve because he would need to play them after May 21. Well, well, well, can you believe that Mr. Camping just went public and play his. I knew he would.

He said his mistake was that he failed to understand that the date was speaking of a “spiritual” judgment that begin May 21st and that the physical destruction of the earth would take place October 21, 2011. I think I’m going to be sick! This man is shameless. No doubt there are a few more suckers out there he can glean a few $ from before October 21.

Mr. Camping sounds like a comedian I heard some years ago. A man was standing under a light pole on a dark night snapping his fingers. Another man walked up and asks, “What are you doing?” He responded, “I’m keeping the elephants away.” The other man said, “You fool, there isn’t an elephant with a hundred miles of here,” to which the other responded; “I’m doing a pretty go job aren’t I?”

You see, Mr. Camping has changed horses on you and “spiritualized” the event to where no one can prove him wrong. That’s how you do it, children. Now you should be able to understand how easy it will be for the Antichrist to deceive the whole world. Ignorance of how to rightly divide the Scriptures leaves you vulnerable to every false teaching. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.” 2 Timothy 2:16-18 .

NOW, ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD

END OF AN AGE OR END OF THE WORLD

By Ken Blue

“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” Matthew 24:3.

The reader must understand that the four gospels are not written to, or about the church, the body of Christ. They concern Israel and the Old Testament promises of Israel’s: Kingdom of Heaven on earth, which will be ruled by Jesus Christ from Jerusalem. This is what is meant in the Lord’s Prayer, “Thy Kingdom come…”

The question in the above text is not about the end of the world or the destruction of planet earth. The word “world” comes from the Greek αἰών which means eon or age. The current age began after the flood of Noah and will continue until the Millennium. That is the “age to come” spoken of in Hebrews 6:5. The disciples are not asking about or concerned when the earth would be destroyed. They want to know when the present age would end, and the new age with His Kingdom would be established in Israel.

The Lord gives His disciples a list of signs that will be present in the days preceding the end of the age. Most of these are found in Matthew 24. It is important that we understand that the Lord is talking about things that concern the nation of Israel and those nations that seek to destroy them. (See Matthew 24:24. Mark 13:22. 2 Peter 2:1. 1 John 4:1. Rev. 16:13; 20:10.)

The age that will follow this present one will last another 1000 years, and then the earth is burned up. See Revelation 20:1-7. This is what Peter is speaking of in 2 Peter 3:10. The word for the earth there is a different Greek word and speaks of the literal planet.

So, believers should not concern themselves with the “end of the world.” It is at least one thousand and seven years down the road. What we should do is pray for Israel, pray for others, and make sure we are saved. Let not your heart be troubled. God’s program is right on schedule. However, we are to be on guard. “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

If you are saved, the signs of the end of the age should excite you because it means the rapture of the church is that much closer. Look up and don’t give up.

GO EASY ON HAROLD CAMPING; YOU MUST BE JOKING!

IS MR. CAMPING A BROTHER IN CHRIST?

CAMPINGBy   Ken Blue

“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” 2 Cor. 11:13-15.

“Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not” Matt. 24:23-26.

Some who have written to me have suggested that Mr. Camping is a brother in Christ and that we should overlook his teachings and false prophecies. But I cannot and will not. The damage he has done to the cause of Christ is irreparable.

There are thousands around the world who believed him because he claimed what he believed is taught in the Bible. He has made a laughing stock of Christianity. Those who may have had some interest in Spiritual matters will conclude the Bible is not true.

[perfectpullquote align=”right” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]The damage he has done to the cause of Christ is irreparable.[/perfectpullquote]

Mr. Camping should shut up, close his Bible up, fold his ministry up, and give up all the money he has extorted from others. I expect Mr. Camping to adjust his teaching again to continue his ministry of deception. Some of us know a wolf when we see one, and we know demonic teaching when we hear it. In my opinion, Mr. Camping is both.

My advice is to stop interpreting the Bible from world events, or people who profess to have special insight into the Bible. We need to interpret world events from a correct division and understanding of the Scriptures. You must study it for yourself and learn how to rightly divide it. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15. You are commanded to do this… “That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;” Ephesians 4:14.

No, we will not cut Mr. Camping any slack. He has brought reproach on my Bible, my Savior, my church, and my brothers in Christ. Also, many souls will be lost because of his twisted false teachings.
