By now I know you have heard and seen what has happened to Japan. Let me say that NO I do not think God did this for a purpose. The Earth moved, and the water reacted. Yes what happened is sad, and I do believe God’s will is for us to help them; they are our neighbors.
Today’s message has a direct relationship to what happened over in Japan. Question, “What would you do if this happened to you?” If your house was taken away, if your transportation was taken away, if the water and food was taken away, what would you do? How would you survive? What would you do? You can’t go to the church, because the church would be in the same situation. You can’t go to your job because what you were doing just became unimportant. What would you do?
Matthew 24:15-21 ( KJV ) 15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Let me be the first to say, when the “tribulation” does come, it will not be in one or two countries. Instead, it will be a global event. The Angel will stand over the Earth and give the Earth its judgment. Fake preachers tell you that because of a storm or earthquake it is because of God’s wrath. God’s wrath will be to the whole Earth as it was with the flood, as it will be towards the end. This means, as Jesus has spoken, when the abomination of desolation happens, what will you do, where will you go, how would you survive?
Water – there is more of water than the Earth, but you pay for it every day. And now you have none. Where will you go, what would you do when it comes to water? God showed Adam about the different rivers; what river do you know of?
Food – in the bible, God taught Adam about the tree that was pleasant to the sight and the tree that was good for food. I promise you, only those who know the difference will survive the desolation. The rest will quickly realize they were dependent on others and not the word of God who taught us how to have food from the trees.
Currency – To those who have no clue, the only currency God cares about is: Genesis 2:12 ( KJV ) 12And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. When it comes to currency, the bottom line is gold. However, in our neighborhoods we have businesses willing to buy your gold, WHY? The reason is, when the desolation comes you will still be the slaves. You will have nothing to bargain therefore you will be in the position to receive only what they want you to have.
I am not trying to scare you. What I am trying to get you to see is this:
- Jesus did save us from our sins, but you still have to live until God calls you.
- How you live is a direct relationship to God. How you live shows off your God to everyone. How do you live?
- God showed us about the trees of food, the gold, the rivers and so on, but you relied on government and your jobs, so much so you forgot the basics of God—some of you do not even know what your gift is.
What happened to Louisiana and Japan I will never say that it is a direct action from God. What I will say is, if Jesus is right, then what happened in Louisiana and Japan is just an example of what is to come for the whole Earth. Know God, know Jesus, and know how to survive to live and live to survive.
