CUP OF TREMBLING

"BEHOLD, I WILL MAKE JERUSALEM A CUP OF TREMBLING UNTO ALL THE PEOPLE ROUND ABOUT, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. AND IN THAT DAY WILL I MAKE JERUSALEM A BURDENSOME STONE FOR ALL PEOPLE: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, THOUGH ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH BE GATHERED TOGETHER AGAINST IT... FOR I WILL GATHER ALL NATIONS AGAINST JERUSALEM TO BATTLE." Zechariah 12:2-3 & 14:2

This prophecy was written over twenty-five hundred years ago, and is only one of many prophecies which prove the authenticity of the Bible, at least for the thinking man, for only recently has this prophecy been capable of being fulfilled. Only now is it possible for all nations to be gathered against Jerusalem to battle. Only now, for the first time in the history of the world, is this possible. When this prophecy was first foretold and first written the technology which could make the fulfillment of this prophecy possible had not even been conceived by man, let alone invented. Now however, at this moment in history, the technology is not only available, but world events are precisely in place to bring this prophecy about, and thus he who doesn't understand that the Jerusalem mandate will bring the human race to the brink of extinction is he who is blinded through and through by the god of this world, even Satan, who is soon to appear as the angel of light, so that none but those who belong to Jesus Christ through the SUPERNATURAL MIRACLE of the NEW BIRTH will be supernaturally protected from his deceit.

And the ONLY reason the human race will not become extinct is because the true Jesus Christ, just as he prevented God from destroying the human race the first time at the dawn of history in the very beginning of creation when Adam and Eve rebelled, will once again intervene and interdict what would otherwise result in the total annihilation of mankind, as Jesus himself revealed --

"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. AND EXCEPT THOSE DAYS SHOULD BE SHORTENED, THERE SHOULD NO FLESH BE SAVED: BUT FOR THE ELECT'S SAKE THOSE DAYS SHALL BE SHORTENED. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 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. Behold, I have told you before. 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. FOR AS THE LIGHTNING COMETH OUT OF THE EAST, AND SHINETH EVEN UNTO THE WEST; SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE." Matthew 24:21-27

Again, inviolable proof of the Bible's authenticity, at least for the thinking man, for only now, at this moment in history, is the destruction of all flesh by mankind's own means possible, and the clock is ticking, and whether you like it or not, the nations of the world WILL be gathered together against Jerusalem, world war WILL be unleashed upon rebellious mankind, Jesus Christ WILL be glorified as Lord of Lords and King of Kings, and his return WILL be at the height of a global nuclear world war which will be positively devastating and simply inconceivable in its severity, even to the angels, nevertheless, it is coming, for the Father of the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, Jesus Christ, has decreed it, and it CANNOT be undone. It is coming, and it is coming sooner than you think, for that which must go before has almost wholly been fulfilled, and the pieces are even now being put in place, and unless you belong to Jesus Christ through the SUPERNATURAL MIRACLE of the NEW BIRTH, there will be NO escape. You will die in your sins, and you will spend eternity in utter torment because you have rejected and spurned the only man who could rescue you, Jesus Christ the Righteous, for if Jesus Christ is not your LORD, neither will he be your Saviour.

Would you like a preview of the death that will fall upon those who come against the city of Jesus Christ, even when JEHOVAH ELOHIM makes Jerusalem a cup of trembling for all people? Behold --

"And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth." Zechariah 14:12

For centuries scoffers and doubters have asserted that this scripture must be merely symbolic, but now, for the first time in the history of the world, nuclear weaponry makes this prophecy look like an eyewitness account of atomic radiation and desolation, and is yet another of the boatloads of prophecies which prove the authenticity of the Bible, at least for the thinking man.

Though there will be a short time of false peace, intimating that the human race has evolved beyond self-destruction, thereby deceiving all who dwell upon the face of the earth, nevertheless the wrath of the Lamb is coming upon this world, as certainly as the waves of the ocean crash upon the rocky shore, the wrath of the Lamb is coming upon this world indeed, and soon, and only the Lamb of wrath can save you, for all who belong to him are immune from his wrath, as it is written --

"And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day... And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come." 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10, 1 Thessalonians 1:10

Whoever you are, your time is short... shorter than you can POSSIBLY imagine, for the time of the consummation of all things and the day of Jesus Christ is at hand, and you cannot become a Christian just any old time you please. There is a season to be saved, and that season is now. Jesus Christ opens, and no man shuts, and Jesus Christ shuts, and no man opens, and Jesus Christ opens and shuts at his own pleasure, not yours. Seek him now, this moment, peradventure he might hear you, and open to you, for he hears not all, no not by any means. Jesus Christ hears ONLY those who are drawn by the Father, hears savingly, that is, and there are FEW that are so drawn. Therefore, you best seek him now, this very moment, and you best not quit until he clothes you with salvation, for if you wait until a more convenient season to call upon him, you more than likely will have waited too long, too long by a lifetime, by an eternity, and thus I assure you that you will lose your soul.

"A sinner saved by grace will always refer in his TESTIMONY to the MOMENT at which he EXPERIENCED new birth... You must be invaded by the Spirit of God by means of SUPERNATURAL recreation... BEWARE OF THE TENDENCY TO WATER DOWN THE SUPERNATURAL IN RELIGION."  Oswald Chambers, Bringing Sons Unto Glory & Approved Unto God

"Never leave off watching, reading, praying, striving, till you experimentally find Christ Jesus formed within you... Be frequent in self-examination morning and evening. Pray earnestly from your heart. WRESTLE WITH GOD, BEG HIM TO HASTEN THE NEW BIRTH." George Whitefield, Letters, XI

"He that believeth the Scriptures to be the Word of God, believeth that men MUST BE BORN AGAIN, and also be PARTAKERS OF THAT FAITH WHICH IS OF THE OPERATION OF GOD, according as he hath read and believed, or else he MUST and SHALL be damned. And he that believeth this aright WILL NOT BE CONTENTED until, according as it is written, HE DO PARTAKE OF AND ENJOY THE NEW BIRTH, and until he do find, through grace, THAT FAITH WHICH IS WROUGHT BY THE OPERATION OF GOD IN HIS SOUL. For this is the cause why men do satisfy themselves with so slender a CONCEITED HOPE that their state is good, when it is nothing so, namely, because they do not credit the Scripture; for did they, they would look into their own hearts, and EXAMINE SERIOUSLY whether that faith, that hope, that grace which they THINK they have, be of that nature, AND WROUGHT BY THAT SPIRIT AND POWER THAT THE SCRIPTURE SPEAKETH OF. I speak this of an EFFECTUAL BELIEVING, without which all other is nothing unto salvation." John Bunyan, A Few Sighs From Hell

Would you be born again? GENUINELY born again?

Then take wise counsel -- pick up a Bible based on the Traditional Text -- in English, the ONLY VALID Bible based on the Traditional Text is the King James Bible -- and then read with SOLEMNITY, beginning in the Gospels preferably, and beg Jesus Christ to reveal himself to you, and give him no rest until he does, for if you read the TRUE written Word of God, you will find the Lord of Glory, even Jesus Christ, moving upon the face of the waters in its pages, just as he moved upon the face of the waters when he walked across the Sea of Galilee, and if you follow the advice just given, and if you persist, Jesus Christ HIMSELF will verily MANIFEST HIMSELF to you (for he HIMSELF promises to do this for those who truly heed this advice), just as he MANIFESTED HIMSELF to his disciples when he moved upon the face of the waters as he walked across the stormy sea some two thousand years ago, and just as he did with ME not too many years ago, and just as he has done with a FEW others from day to day since that time, in this very generation, and just as he will do for YOU if -- IF -- you heed my advice, and if -- IF -- you persist therein, for he who promised is FAITHFUL. John 14:21, Matthew 14:25-27
