THE FORGOTTEN

Loneliness enshrouds me, as I sit all alone.
I’m one of the forgotten, in what’s called a rest home.

There are others around me in this den of gloom.
It’s called a rest home where the living are entomb.

We never receive a card, a pictures, or flowers.
A television plays to while away the hours.

It’s a bedpan, a bath, and pills to make us sleep.
We turn to the wall so no one will see us weep.

Every day’s the same, with no family or friends.
We are the forgotten ones, waiting for the end.

Jesus calls you to visit in their rest home den.
Take a card or flowers, and listen as a friend.

You are the sunshine, for those who are alone.
Pray for the forgotten, confined to a rest home.

BABYLON IS NOT ROME NOR THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

BABYLON AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

Babylon

By Ken Blue

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4.

The standard teaching is that the Catholic Church is Babylon, and that God is calling for believers to come out of it. However, nothing could be further from the truth. I have always wondered why those who are opposed to spiritualizing Scripture take such liberty in the book of Revelation, especially with chapters 2, 3, 17, 18.

When the Jews flee in the Tribulation, it will be safer for them in the city of Babylon than in Jerusalem; many will go there for protection. Two things were necessary for this to happen. One, Israel had to be back in their land as a nation, and the City of Babylon had to be rebuilt. Both have happened.

When God said, “Come out of her, my people…” He is speaking a literal city and a specific time. Look at the context of:

  • Jeremiah 51:6 “Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD’S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense.”
  • Jeremiah 51:6. “Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.”
  • Micah 4:10. Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. (Read context.)

  • Jeremiah 50:4-9 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God. 5 They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten. 6My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace. 7All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers. 8 Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks. 9For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
  • Jeremiah 51:5-8 For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel. 6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD’S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence. 7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD’S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. 8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
  •  Jeremiah 51:45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the Lord is speaking of literal Jews, and He is calling them out of the literal city of Babylon just prior to its destruction as described in the above text. There is absolutely no thought of the Catholic Church in these verses. The idolatry and wickedness of Babylon was in full existence long before Rome ever existed. If you don’t know that, you haven’t read the Old Testament, or of her influence on all the nations, including Israel. Although the Catholic Church practices much of Babylon’s religion, she is but one of the many offshoots. Babylon is not the Catholic Church.

WANTED; A LEADER

by

 

What we are witnessing today in the nations surrounding Israel is an unraveling of existing governments. Each of these countries will emerge in new form and under new leadership. There may be a semblance of democracy, but the iron and the clay will not adhere. “And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.” Daniel 2:41-43.

Once the puppet leaders are in place, they will forge an alliance of a Muslim Brotherhood. There will be ten of these nations, and Christians should keep an eye on them. There will not be perfect peace between them, but an obscure leader unlike the world has ever known will come from Syria and take charge of these ten nations; Three of the ten will rebel and be removed. The remaining seven will follow their new leader. “I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.” Daniel 7:8.

This new leader will not only rule the ten nations, but will have control of most, if not all the oil in the region. He will spend much of his time working from Syria to Egypt in order to maintain peace. His political and military prowess has never been matched. In time he will move his headquarters to Babylon. As he traverses between Egypt and Babylon, he will decide to set up a headquarters in Jerusalem. “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: ” Matthew 24:15. “But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.” Revelation 11:2.

It is at this point the Scriptures tell the Jews to get out of Jerusalem. The reason is obvious; This leader’s goal will be the eradication of all Jews. In fact, Jesus says that if those days were not shortened; no Jews would be left alive. “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” Matthew 24:22. “The elect” is a reference to Israel. The context makes that evident.

This is the leader the Muslim world is looking for, and he is coming very soon. Many Christian are looking for signs. The most helpful sign is to pay attention to what is happening around Israel. These ten nations, the leader from Syria, and his occupation of Jerusalem are keys to understand the return of Christ. “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:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be”. Matthew 24:15-21. The one who will stand “in the holy place” is the leader the Middle East and the world will accept.  We have been warned.

THE ATHEIST WITH NOTHING TO LOSE

by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The atheist can’t lose his soul; he doesn’t believe he has one

He can’t lose his faith; he doesn’t have any

He can’t lose his argument; he has nothing to prove

He can’t lose his faith about where he came from. He came from stardust, to slime, to his present state.

He can’t lose his purpose for existence; he doesn’t have one.

He can’t lose his morals; there’s no such thing.

He can’t lose his belief that there is right or wrong. They don’t exist.

He can’t lose the argument that rape, murder, theft, pedophilia, profanity, lying and race decimation are wrong. To him, right and wrong are inventions of religion and governments to control people.

He can’t lose a belief that man is more valuable than a rat, for both are the processes of evolution.

He can’t lose his hope of anything after death; He has none.

He can’t lose any sleep over six million Jews being exterminated, or the present wars, for all are birth pangs of the upward evolutionary process.

The atheist has nothing more to lose than Bossy the cow, or Rex the dog. There must be a lot of pride and comfort in being an atheist.

WOMEN WITH DISCRETION OR A SWINE’S SNOUT

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.
