“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

Peace? How can we have peace today in a world full of evil and chaos? We as Christians can have Peace and Joy, because of Jesus Christ. To the people of the world living for the flesh, this doesn’t make any sense. How can we have internal Peace through One Man? Because Jesus wasn’t just a Man, he is God in the Flesh (John 1:14) who took the wages of Sin upon himself at the Cross so we may have eternal life

This means whatever your going through today, whatever suffering you may be enduring, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel through Christ. Your best days have yet to be seen until Christ returns and restores Gods Kingdom. This present suffering is a mere stumbling block and not our destiny

Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you. John 16:22

Jesus told his disciples, they will receive Joy because of him, that nobody can take away from us. You see they can take away our Earthly possessions, maybe our health will diminish, maybe we’ll even lose our life for Christ sake, but it doesn’t matter because our soul belongs to The Lord!

Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28

Nobody can take your soul except God alone! Therefor don’t fear the evils of this world, have Peace and Joy knowing your soul belongs to Jesus Christ Amen!

If you say in your heart, ‘Why have these things happened to me?’ Because of the magnitude of your iniquity Your skirts have been removed And your heels have been exposed. Jeremiah 13:22

A lot of bad things happen to people because of SIN, The iniquities of mankind. Sin has consequences, and there usually all bad consequences. SIN has a chain reaction also, when someone commits a SIN it usually effects other people also.

For example, a drunk driver crashes into a family killing them. Why did this happen to the innocent family? Because of the sins of the drunken person. SIN is selfishness, SIN is self-gratifying and usually destructive. When you SIN , your not only effecting your own life but also the other people in your path

The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. Psalm 19:7

This is why God has a Moral Law. Its not because God wants to control people or tell them what to do. Its actually the opposite, God is trying to steer us in the right direction. God wants us to live a long and fruitful life, this will not happen when you live in SIN.

Yes bad things happen to good people, usually if you trace back the origins of the evil, it typically started with someones SIN

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

This is why God sent us a Savior, this is why we need Jesus Christ. Humanity is not capable of saving themselves. Turn away from Sin and Accept Jesus as your Lord Amen!

And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; John 16:8

One of the many roles of the Holy Spirit is the Convictor.  When you Sin, you feel guilty of this Sin, why? Because the Holy Spirit is convicting you of your sin. The Holy Spirit wants you to Repent of your Sins and come to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

You might think it sounds harsh or wrong for God to continually convict people of their sins. However the Holy Spirit is trying to save your soul. He is trying to get you to recognize your Sin and come to the only Way for Salvation , Jesus

concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; John 16:9

Why would people Repent or come to Christ if they don’t know what  Sin is? This is part of the Holy Spirits role to draw people to Christ. It is said only God can truly lead people to Jesus, and this is how he does it.  God doesn’t want anyone to perish, so he works on them through the Holy Spirit

But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. John 16:13

The Spirit of Truth (The Holy Spirit) speaks for God. Listen to the Holy Spirit, allow him to guide and lead you. If you are unsure what direction you should go, ask the Holy Spirit to lead and convict you!

Follow the Spirit of Truth in Jesus Name Amen!

“Many shepherds have ruined My vineyard, They have trampled down My field; They have made My pleasant field A desolate wilderness. Jeremiah 12:10

God had delivered Israel everything,he delivered them out of slavery, he provided for them in the wilderness,  he gave them the Promise Land, however Israel was never satisfied with what God provided. They became wicked and worshiped pagan gods trampling on the Kingdom God was building here on Earth

It has been made a desolation, Desolate, it mourns before Me; The whole land has been made desolate, Because no man lays it to heart. Jeremiah 12:11

The Promise Land has become a land of desolation because of the wickedness it their hearts. Israel cared more about their sin and wickedness then they did about praising and worshipping God.

Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. Matthew 7:15

The word pastor is latin for shepherd. Jesus warned us that the false pastors/prophets/shepherds will come to destroy the Church. Just as the false shepherds trampled on and destroyed Israel internally, the false prophets today are trying to destroy the “Church” internally also

You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? Matthew 7:16

By their fruits you will now these people, what are the motives on these people? Are they serving God or serving themselves? Is what they are saying confirmed in the Word of God?

The biggest problem with Christianity today is the heretical teachings accepted today by many Christians because of lack of Biblical knowledge. Know who you are following, test the Spirits, don’t allow your Church to become a desolate wasteland because of wickedness Amen!

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time. Revelation 20:1-3

This Chapter will begin what is known as the “Millennial Reign” this means it will be a 1,000 year reign of Christ here on Earth. With Satan bound in the Abyss and Spiritual Babylon destroyed and removed. Peace will reign on Earth! As the King of Kings Jesus Christ reigns from Jerusalem.

The Abyss which was referenced by demons, pleading with Jesus not to throw them in there, appears to be a holding cell for Demons and evil spirits.

They were imploring Him not to command them to go away into the abyss. Luke 8:31

Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.Revelation 20:4-6

The First Resurrection is happening. All the martyrs and saints who lost their lives for Jesus Christ, are now back and eternal. Notice it says they will not be harmed by the “Second Death” meaning they are now immortal and reigning with Jesus Christ. Don’t you want to be one of them?

Also notice the only ones living with Christ during the Millennial Reign are Christians. Judgement day will not come to after the Millennial Reign.

For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 1 Corinthians 15:53

When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore. Revelation 20:7-8

Notice as soon as Satan is released from the Abyss he deceived the world again. And he doesn’t just deceive a few people, it says he deceived so many people they are like sand on a seashore. Countless of people are easily fooled and deceived by Satan. Don’t be one of them!

And you, son of man, thus says the Lord GOD to the land of Israel, ‘An end! The end is coming on the four corners of the land. Ezekiel 7:2

And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Revelation 20:9-10

Satan and his followers have now waged war against Christ and his Saints. Guess who wins? God devours them with fire from Heaven. Who is foolish enough to believe they can overcome God?

Satans judgement has finally come as hes thrown into the Lake of Fire with the Beast and False prophet. Lake of Fire is most likely Hell (Gehenna) where all who follow Satan and reject Christ will end up!

“Then I kept looking because of the sound of the boastful words which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and given to the burning fire. Daniel 7:11

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. Revelation 20:11-12

The Great White Throne of Judgement is about to happen. Now notice there is basically two judgements here. The first one here I believe are the ones already resurrected because their names are in the “Book of Life”, if your name is blotted out you will not inherit the Kingdom of God

Now those who did inherit eternal life are being judged based on their deeds (works) for Gods Kingdom to determine their place

Even they will perish, but You endure; And all of them will wear out like a garment; Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed. Psalm 102:26

And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. Revelation 20:13

This part of the Judgement will be for those whose name was blotted out of the Book of Life. Because they are not covered by the blood of Christ, all their sins will be judged according to Gods Law.

“For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS. Matthew 16:27

Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:14-15

Everything has finally been abolished including evil, sin, and death. Satan and everyone who has rejected Christ have received their final destination of the Lake of Fire. This is why its crucial we tell people the gospel of Christ and what Jesus has done for us!

The last enemy that will be abolished is death. 1 Corinthians 15:26
