I have had a trying year. I search each day and find the same thing each time..... The answer is in the Word of God. I listen patiently for His voice to comfort, console, guide. I pray dear Lord enter my soul inside. I raise my hands to the sky and say, " Thank you Lord for this day, your blessings are felt as I do things not by my will but by Your way, Amen."

Lawrence Gaytan

I'd like to thank those who have written comments regarding my poems. Special thanks to Sae Hattori, who wrote, In the Desert on October 05, 2009 for his nice comments. I am glad I was able to echo your feelings in my poem, Make Me Thy Tool. You write some deep poetry yourself. God can use us to further His work. To God be the glory.

Good evening again my brothers and sisters,
I once again bring to you those words God has put into my thoughts. I hope that you continue to enjoy but more imnportantly, use the words to further draw closer to God as we prepare for His sec ond coming:

The Second Coming

Whose second coming
should excite us more?
The Christ who saved us
or that beast impure?
I think that we’re clear
That there’s only way
To enter God’s glory
On Judgment Day
And that’s by accepting
That Jesus Christ
For you and for me
Paid a heavy price
I cannot consider
That beast impure
Who’s coming from the Abyss
Somewhere below
But Jesus my Lord
Who comes from up high
I praise and I appreciate you
And in you I rely
It’s you my Lord
In whom I’m rejoicing
As I patiently await
Your second coming

Pray

As the end draws near
And Satan roams more
We must draw closer
To God's open door
Get rid of sin
And matters unclean
And join in that effort
To destroy Satan's scheme

God remains unchanging
And showers His grace
But brethren let's hurry
And hasten our pace
For soon come that moment
When the Spirit takes leave
And those who dare tarry
Will not bring in the sheaves

But one sure means
Of keeping in line
Is to stay in touch
By not wasting time
To be right with God
On Judgment Day
There's one sure thing
We must do today
PRAY!

'FOR WHOEVER HAS TO HIM MORE WILL BE GIVEN &HE WILL HAVE ABUNDANCE,BUT WHOEVER DOES NOT HAVE,EVEN WHAT HE HAS WILL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM'

My children, walk without fear
As you were raised with all hard works and prayer
Instilling contentment to your soul
You only have to trust and be faithful

You energize me behind my tiredness
I can afford to grin and bear behind difficulties
You are the reason why I have to go out rain or shine
As I can not stop dreaming even for a short while

Walking by our own pace with courage
You witness how I carry the hardship
May it serves you as good example
As you take your journey in the future

Reminiscing our beautiful memories
Bonded in time of our togetherness
Where things were not all soft and smooth
But the happiness we feel is what that counts most

Embrace the completeness of a mother
Watching you strong and braver
Be thankful, cheerful and be alive
I consider you treasure in my life

i am indeed very gratefull to have stumble into your site, i know it will be a blessing to my soul while i await my books,

STILL I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE FREE BOOKS U PROMISED ME.

I've just been introduced to this chat room by a friend. I'm glad to belong.
I'm just curious, do we have problem of voodoo and household wickedness in Europe as we have in Africa?

Thank you for your whole salvation
Yet I have this one petition
Do not cast me from your presence
Accept my humble-spirit incense.

love is a greatest gift from God

Life is not a midnight snore of our deep sleeping
It is sometimes gasping an air of our breathing

Life is not as smooth and arranged as we want it to across
It is sometimes garbled in order to serve its purpose

Life has to undergo a lot of trials, pains and sacrifices
To give worth meaning the sweetness of everyone's success

Life is the hardest step that teaches us to dance
And yet it brings us as graceful as we become

Life is meaningless if it is as shallow as the river runs
Yet it is meaningful if it is as deep and silent as the ocean

Life is a flow of tears in a perpetual stumble and fall
To give us enough lessons to learn and make it more colorful

Life has a worth to live if we are brave to face its challenge
And it is good if we accept its wonderful design God has given

Life is not measured in the number of breaths we take
Rather in the number of times life left us breathless

You are supposed to be a young pretty lady
Maybe so sweet, intelligent and lovely
I am so much longing for you baby
My angel, I am very very much sorry

Now that you are drifting into my mind
Succumb my thoughts, I can't help but cry
If those days I was just strong enough
My angel, you are supposed to be with us

When you left us, You were just an infant
To see the world you were not given a chance
My griefs and sorrows so much affected you
When you were in my womb, you suffered too

You maybe flying and drop on tip of the bushes
You maybe now with the silent air I breathe
Comforting me with your focus and loving stare
I can smell your heavenly shadow on the air

I stay cool as if my life is smooth and no worries at all
I laugh out loud as if not shouldering heaviness of my world

You might think...

I look so strong yet I am fragile and vulnerable
I look brave but the truth I am also so much scared
I am full of strength yet I almost surrender my life
I have a deep faith but I'm afraid i couldn't survive

Yet as I talk to YOu...

Courage flickered across my shaken faith and strength
To continue my long journey though storm teased my way
I have to walk on my cloudy path and keep myself moving on
Till the heaven allows me to touch the smoke of the horizon

May God bless you all and may he continue to guide your feet as you prepare for another week of challenges. Trust God.

I sat within the winding pews
Amongst my friends and many fews
Hearing the word and songs of praise
Hoping to share god’s love and grace

The world outside was left to be
Because it could not set me free
Humbly upon my bended knee
Oh Lord, I give my heart to thee

Somewhere out there where others fall
You thought of me and made a call
But where I sat in harmony
With God you could not speak to me

I was a prodigal son returned
Hoping to be again transformed
Removed from all your world of woes
Serving within my Father’s house


My Morning Prayer

Oh blessed God of might and power
I bend my knees and pray this hour
That all things may go well this day
This is my prayer great God I pray

I thank thee Father for giving me life
For energy and the will to survive
For skies so blue from only you
And all that make each day so new

I thank you Lord for the love I feel
For the blood of Jesus which is my shield
For knowledge I get from you each day
And wisdom so that I don’t stray

I thank thee Lord for the patience you give
For the motivation I have to live
For the many, many times you’ve carried me
And your Holy Spirit which is guiding me

And now I ask for blessings more
For the chance to enter Heaven’s door
I ask thee Lord my heart to keep safe
That this life you gave me goes not to waste

I ask you bless my family so dear
That they may experience your love and care
That they may know your gracefulness
And grow in love and faithfulness

Thank you dear Lord for hearing me
And from Satan protecting me
Please Jesus, God, Almighty One of Power
Keep me safe today and every hour

Peaceful silence on the air
I savored while meditating
Heartily talking You in depth
You listen my soul who is imperfect
I refresh myself in faith and I worship
In the shaking situation I face, I ask Your help

Heavy trial came my way unexpectedly
It needs a lot of my courage and humility
As things drifted my mind at night
I tried to examine myself and give insight
I was feeling empty and helpless
But I need to move on out of nothingness

I have to fight to win this battle
For the welfare of everyone and all
I know that it will just pass over
In my every prayer You give an answer
You are giving me comfort and care
You are alive, You are just there

As I am solving things one at a time
You give me hope and sunshine
You are a helping and caring Father
With so much unconditional love to share
And behind the visit of this horrifying crisis
I thank you for painting my face a smile

I really feel the same about this poem.
It is easy to understand, and speaks to the heart.
Fabulous!

I live alone in a wasteland
No trees, no plants, but burning sand
From here to heaven I lift my hand
Praise God! For thus he had planned.

My eyes are blood-shot red with sorrow
Knowing not what waits tomorrow.
Though I hear the strong bulls’ bellows
Help me cross the sea so shallow.

I’m out of water, food and grain
Look to you for manna rain
Your words my only food and drink
Snatch me from the Death-bank brink.

God led Israelites to Canaan
Through the desert’s burning sun
Hot and weary, and no fun
Yet by faith they bore the run.

“In the desert I found you
Through my blood I ransomed you
Come to me and be at ease
Your Savior bids your pain to cease.”

O my Savior! Thank you for
Saving me from troubles sore
Saving me from soul’s destruction
Help me clear my road’s obstruction.

Thank you for your whole salvation
Yet I have this one petition
Do not cast me from your presence
Accept my humble-spirit incense.

http://lord-jesus.do.am/

Brethren, once again we come to another holy Sabbath and one week closer to the return of our Savior to claim his sheep. Once again, I hope these words of inspiration written in poetry will help to bring one little soul closer to God. May God bless you all and Happy Sabbath.

Go walk the streets in Jesus’ name
Seek not rewards or worldly fame
Ask not revenge on those who seek
To drive you off or make you weak

But trust in God in every way
And He will open up your way
Call on His name and you will see
That God alone can make you free

It is for this you were conceived
To live such that all would believe
A shining light of righteousness
A child of God forever blessed

Endorsed by God to carry out
His love and truth from out thy mouth
To teach the world to win the prize
Dear Lord we must evangelize

Visit the sick, needy, and weak
Exemplify Jesus who’s meek
But go you must to lead the blind
And from within God’s love unwind

Oh blessed I am and blessed she be
Father you’ve brought her unto thee
Heaven’s angels now sing with glee
Because her heart unwinds to thee

You called her and she quickly came
To bless her is your only aim
She left a life of earthly fame
To walk with you in Jesus’ name

She could not disobey your call
Because you are master of all
She knows Satan is bound to fall
Now in her life you’re king of all

Oh master I’m in harmony
Because you brought her unto thee
Thank you Father this gift to me
You called her and she came to thee

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I would like to share my SEARCH with you all.
SEARCH

I sing my sordid tale to myself -----

In search of a home
The mind fathoms
And the search goes on! -----

elijah adds-
TILL TO CHRIST i COME
His blood ransomes
And hope grows strong!

SO WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY SET OF THE FREE BOOKS? NOW OR WHEN SOMEBODY ANSWER ME PLEASE

Dear Brothers and sisters,
Let us share an experience
EXPERIENCE

I carry an aura of drowsiness around me,
every time I feel
having realized something
Having something within my grasp
The very next moment
I find myself
being washed away
By the turbulent sea of desires,
Into the ever widening gyre
of this manifestation
I get up again !
This time mustering up all my passions
To unravel the shrouded mysteries of life
The whirlpool of desires again haunts my each step
Keeping its jaws wide open,
to engulf me at once,
at my slightest totter,
I move ,move & keep moving
To a destination, which I know not,
And after I traverse a little more distance
Than what I had traversed the previous time
I again fall a pray
In the aura of drowsiness
Into the same old steamy cesspool of desires,
An incessant moment follows after each such experience
of heavenly bliss
which this world can never provide
For it is something which can’t be exchanged either
Just an experience !! so soothing !!
Here I go again !!
Hey there !
Any one willing to join me !!

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

A pleasant good evening to all my brethren out there. We are truly headed into turbulent weather which only the blood of Christ can save us from. I'm so happy I know God and I thank the Lord for His sacrifice. I hope you find my sincere thoughts in poetry useful. May God bless you and I...

Make me thy Tool

Father of peace father of life
Father forgive my sinful life
Father of love, father of grace
Father please keep me on the pace
Father turn not from me today
Because I’ve gone my sinful way
But bring me back into the fold
To where you have my crown of gold

Father of all and king of time
You came and said, “My child be mine”
I turned away and strayed too far
Was battered, scarred by wordly war
Now here I am wishing to be
Returned and Reconciled to thee
Hoping to touch your garment’s hem
So that I could see Bethlehem

Father of mine father of life
Take me thy child from all this strife
Show me the way that I should go
To make thy power overflow
Make me thy tool to bring to thee
Those who from sin wish to be free
An everlasting tool for you
Strong, tough, and multipurpose too

Oh Blessed Sabbath
By Norman C. Rodriguez

Oh blessed day that God has made
To bring me in to nature’s shade
I commit all to go God’s way
Thank you Lord for this seventh day
Today I become one with you
To be guided by only you
To praise and glorify your name
To please you is my only aim

You prepare me for all within
The coming week so filled with sin
That I may walk in righteousness
And flee from this world’s wickedness
Dear Sabbath holy Sabbath day
Accept me in your arms I pray
And also keep me held within
The safety from this world of sin

And when the day comes to an end
It’s you oh Lord I claim as friend
For giving me a day to be
In peace and harmony with thee
Revitalized and strong and pure
Reenergized, resolved, and sure
Another week and then return
To once again be reassured

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I would like to share my SEARCH with you all.
SEARCH

I sing my sordid tale to myself
Have got jostled, tossed away
Innumerous times
In the deluge of ‘Maya’
Encased in my own cocoon
I make seconds appear light years
In knowledge I don’t rest
And have this unquenchable quest
Of getting more, more & still more
Until I become hollow
For celestial music to flow
Through me
The door is locked with missing key
There is no rest complete water is turbid
With lost grid
In search of a home
The mind fathoms
And the search goes on!

Well said.
You have a pure heart,atleast purer than mine.So u could follow my poem in toto.A soul that vibrates in higher frequency can definitely penetrate souls of lesser frequencies.Would like to share some more poems with u.

SHALOM!

Dear Brothres And Sisters,
I had composed this poem and would like to share your comments.
AN ENDEARING SWAP

Stop, you can’t do it
The mind calls vehemently
Stay quiet, drink all abuses
Stay in Him
The worldly shackles have this final lock
Into the journey inwards
You get laughed at; mocked
By many surrounding you
But some come for alms
God sent messiahs
Who will surely come
To heighten your penance
Give strength to your newly found out way
To give zest to your austerities
To fill your inner silence
Some more divine grace will follow
Inner dives are now more smooth
Deeper & deeper they grow
More deep, more deep & still deeper!
What a solace ! Utter silence!!

good day everyone in this forum.
i would like to address my plea to the wlc team...im having a hard time trying to get a copy of those books featured on the last clip of the video "alpha and omega apostasy" in SDA Church...would it be possible to transfer at least one of them (books) into a pdf file? so anyone who is interested in the early fundamental teaching of the Seventh Day Adventist can download it. i wish to download that clip too!
best regards,
freeetnique

In conclusion, look at these passages:

Ephesians 2:

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.



Romans 10:

9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."

12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.

13 For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved."



John 6:

37 "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.



Have you called on the name of the Lord Jesus and received the free gift of salvation?

Abraham did many righteous acts, but the Bible states that he could not boast before God. It wasn’t his acts that justified him, it was his faith. He believed God and he was credited with God’s righteousness. We also must believe God. God said that justification can only be found in Christ. All our works are dead, but we are made alive by what Jesus has already done for us by His life, death and resurrection. Salvation can never be obtained by our efforts because works and deeds of the law can never justify us. We are justified in Christ alone. If we don’t believe and try to make our own way, we remain dead in our sins; but if we believe God, we are credited with His righteousness.



Matthew 7:

13 " Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.

14 "Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.



Only one road leads to salvation and there is only one door – Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that the greatest punishment is due to those who count the blood of His covenant as a common thing (Hebrews 10:29). Do you hear the world declaring that Jesus is a common thing and no better than all other religions? The truth is that God was manifested in the flesh to pay the penalty of your sin. What religion can equal this? What person can disregard the act of love their own Creator paid on their behalf?

Only Jesus Christ paid the penalty of our sin, therefore salvation can only come through Jesus Christ. Look at John 14:

6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.



This one statement sets Christianity and the Bible apart from all other religions. Either the Bible is right and there is no other way to salvation, or the Bible is wrong and all other religions are right. If all roads lead to God then the Bible is a false book and does not have any reliability. Anyone claiming to be a Christian and says that other religions are equally valid is contradicting the Bible, declaring that Jesus is a liar, and is undermining his own faith. Jesus’ statement about being the only way does not stand alone, look at Acts 4:

10 "let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.

11 "This is the 'stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.'

12 "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."



It is the Bible, not Christians that excludes all other paths. Jesus said that He is the door and if anyone attempts to get on the path by any other way, that person is a thief or a robber (John 10:1-9). The Bible also spells out that thieves and robbers will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. The only way is through Jesus Christ. If there was another way to salvation, it would not have been necessary for God to be manifested in the flesh and to die in your place. Why should God humble Himself for you if any way will do?



It is because of our guilt that Jesus Christ came, was condemned and had our sins laid to His account. Look at Isaiah 53:

4 Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted.

5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.



The message of the gospel is that God so loved the world that He gave His own Son. The way of salvation is that our iniquities were laid on Him. We were dead in our sins but have been made alive together with Him (Colossians 2:13-14) and He has healed our broken spirit by His sacrifice on the cross. 2 Corinthians 5 explains:

20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.

21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.



He became our sin by being credited with our debt and we become His righteousness by being credited with His righteousness. We don’t become righteous by our actions, we become the righteousness of God. We are given a foreign righteousness because God, in His mercy, credits us with His own righteousness. Remember that our righteous acts are filthy in God’s site, but His righteousness credited on our behalf makes us acceptable. Now look at Romans 4:

2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

3 For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

4 Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.

5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,

I have also heard the question, “Why doesn’t God just forgive everyone’s sin and take us all to heaven?” Sounds reasonable, right? If we think this question through, even the critics against God would not agree with this approach to justice. Why doesn’t our legal system just do away with all violations of the law and set everyone free? Would it be just for a murderer to be forgiven and walk away contrary to the law? When the law is not upheld, we get angry at the perversion of justice, yet we then want God to pervert His own justice.



The standard of measure for perfection is God’s own nature and everyone falls short of His glory. God issued the law and offered a blessing to those who obey and the curse against those who disobey. Unfortunately we have all disobeyed at various times in our life. When it is inconvenient, we lie. We call it a white lie but it is still a lie. We may call stealing ‘petty theft’ but it is still stealing. Jesus said that if you violate one command, you have broken them all. Why is this? Because once we violate God’s law, we are then in opposition – or rebellion – against God’s nature. Jesus also brought reality to our personal struggles with sin. He said that it is taught that you should not commit adultery, but anyone who has lusted has already committed adultery in his or her heart. The greedy has committed theft; the one who hates is guilty of murder; the one who covets is an idolater. The Bible teaches that all sin comes from the heart and God examines each one’s heart. The fear of consequences may restrain our outward behavior!, but the law can never repair the sin in our heart.



To make matters worse, the Bible tells us that all sin will be avenged by God. Sin is a violation of the law and the wages of sin is death. Forgiveness is not enough, the debt is still owed. If I fall behind on my bills, the bank may empathize with me, but I still have that debt. The debt cannot be forgiven, it must be paid by me or someone else. Even bankruptcy does not wipe out the debt, it just transfers it to others. Someone will eventually pay.



This is why Buddha cannot forgive sins, nor can Mohammad, Gandhi, Dali Lama, the Pope or any other religious leader. A religious leader can’t forgive sins because he too is in debt to sin. You can pay the penalty of your sins by entering into God’s judgment, but you can never satisfy the debt. Without anything to pay, how can we ever get out of debt? The Bible says that all our righteous acts are filthy rags in God’s site (Isaiah 64:6). What can I offer God that He does not already possess? If my best falls so short that it is filthy in God’s site, how can I pay down my debt? I can’t. Only Jesus Christ can pay the penalty of my sin. Look at these two passages:

1 Timothy 3:

16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.



1 John 3:1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.

5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.



Remember, only God can forgive sins because all sin is against God alone. Also keep in mind that God forgives you for your sins, but God’s forgiveness does not nullify sin. In spite of the forgiveness, the debt must be paid. Instead of requiring the penalty at our hands, Romans 5 says:

8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.



Only Jesus can forgive sins because only Jesus Christ was God manifested in the flesh. While we were dead in our transgressions and the corruption of our flesh, Jesus took the written account of our debt that was against us and took it out of the way by paying for it and nailing it to the cross (Colossians 2:13-14). The Bible tells us that Jesus bore the penalty of our sins in His own body. God poured out His wrath against our sin on Jesus Christ on the cross. The judgment for your sin was laid to the account of Jesus Christ and nailed to His cross. You are forgiven because the debt has been paid. After bearing the burden of your sin, Jesus cried out, “It is finished” and died (John 19:30). The Greek word translated into ‘finished’ is ‘tetelestia’ is an accounting term which means ‘paid in full’. Jesus declared from the cross, “The debt is paid in full!”

Other laws were related to sanitation. If someone touched a dead body, they were unclean and had to cleanse themselves and could not eat until they washed their whole body. Today we understand why washing was import!!ant, but the ancient world that had no concept of microbes could not understand anything but the law. The same is true for declaring certain animals clean and others unclean. It is because that man was not able to understand the reasons that God issued the commands. God commanded that man could not drink the blood of any living thing because blood-borne diseases are a very real threat.



Curbing behavior! and protecting the culture also creates a need for the law. God set a standard of ethics for his people in business, marriage and everyday life. It is ironic that the world calls the handful of laws in the Bible burdensome, yet we have thousands of laws in our culture which attempts to restrain our citizens from harming themselves or violating the rights of others.



The most import!!ant aspect of the law is to imitate the character of our Creator. Each man, woman and child has been created in the image of God. We were all created for a purpose and the Bible tells us that purpose – to know and love God and to reflect His glory. Romans 3:23 tells us that we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Romans 3 also says:

10 As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one;

11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.

12 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one."



Not one single person has fulfilled their calling. Not a single person truly seeks after God, none of us practice righteousness in and of ourselves. What we call good and profitable is not what God calls good. Anything that does not have eternal significance is not profitable. What good does it do to build something that will soon decay or even be destroyed? What is good only comes from God. When a person does a charitable deed, it is still self-seeking. We often hear people say that helping someone in need makes them feel good. There is nothing wrong with this, but the true reason behind our so-called goodness are self serving motives. It is easy to love your neighbor when there is no personal cost, but how many are willing to love those who hate them and will give to those who will not acknowledge appreciation?



Our primary reason for existence is to seek God and to love Him, however, our primary motivation for our lives is to seek our pleasure and live a self-centered life. All have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory and all are in need of forgiveness. God is holy and the Bible calls Him a consuming fire. Sin is a direct challenge against God’s law which is based on God’s own character and nature. Anything that is against God’s nature will not stand in God’s presence. Therefore, our sin must be handled if we are to have our place with God.

There is not a religious leader on earth that can forgive sins. Only God can forgive because we only sin against Him. Look at Psalm 51:

2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me.

4 Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight -- That You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge.



This is the prayer of King David who was mourning over his own sin when he committed adultery with Bathsheba and had Uriah killed to cover his transgressions. God sent Nathan the prophet to confront David and he repented. Even though David committed the transgression against Uriah, the Bible makes it clear that the sin was against God alone. The reason is that all sin is based on God’s law. When we break God’s law, we are challenging God’s authority.



This brings up the interesting question – why are certain actions considered to be sin at all? When we say certain behavior!s are sinful, those practicing these behavior!s inevitably ask, “Who are you to say this is wrong?” Of course, we are upholding what God has said but I believe it is also good for us to have a reasonable understanding as to why God said certain things are wrong.



If we look back at the ancient Israelites, we see many laws that don’t seem to make sense today. However, if we look closely we can see a clear purpose behind every law. In Leviticus God delivered many laws to govern the lives of Israel. Many of these laws were related to worship and the penalty was very harsh for violating these laws. Keep in mind that Israel was the light that God chose to reveal salvation to the world. Many of the worship laws were direct prophecies to Christ and the laws that did not seem to have a purpose at the time were clear teaching tools for what was revealed in Christ and in His crucifixion. The laws were necessary so that the revelation of Jesus Christ would be received and understood. It should be a serious offense to nullify the work that God was doing to reconcile the world to Himself.



Other laws were related to sanitation. If someone touched a dead body, they were unclean and had to cleanse themselves and could not eat until they washed their whole body. Today we understand why washing was import!!ant, but the ancient world that had no concept of microbes could not understand anything but the law. The same is true for declaring certain animals clean and others unclean. It is because that man was not able to understand the reasons that God issued the commands. God commanded that man could not drink the blood of any living thing because blood-borne diseases are a very real threat.



Curbing behavior! and protecting the culture also creates a need for the law. God set a standard of ethics for his people in business, marriage and everyday life. It is ironic that the world calls the handful of laws in the Bible burdensome, yet we have thousands of laws in our culture which attempts to restrain our citizens from harming themselves or violating the rights of others.

In our post modern culture, the question frequently arises, “Why do you say Jesus is the only way?” or “Who are you to say Jesus is the only way?” We can expect the culture to ask questions like this, but in the last few years the Christian church itself has begun to ask these same questions. I watched an interview on MSNBC with a very prominent ex-politician who has always claimed to be a Christian. In an answer to a question he stated that all religions served the same God in different ways.



We have all heard similar statements – all roads lead to the same God and all religions worship the same God in different ways. One illustration was made popular a few years ago by a Buddhist parable. Men who were blind from birth were gathered together in a room with an elephant. Each man was led to a different part of the elephant – one felt the head, one the legs, tail, ears, and trunk. Afterward they were asked, “What is an elephant”? They began arguing when one claimed it was a plowshare, or a tree trunk, a brush, etc. The conclusion is that they all saw one part of the greater whole. In other words, we who argue about truth are arguing about the same god that has been revealed to us in different ways.



It is a very clever parable but holds one truth that I’m sure the author did not intend. Each one of these men was blind and each one was wrong. Until God reveals Himself to us, we all grope around in the darkness vainly searching for some semblance of truth. However, as long as we are blind, we remain in the darkness and what seems true is complete error. In Christianity, God reveals Himself to us and we receive His truth and experience a relationship with our Creator. In world religions, man seeks his own truth and creates his own god. He may call the thing he worships a god, but that does not make it God. As we will see shortly, the Bible gives concrete pointes of reference that place it squarely in contradiction with all world religions. Two contradicting points cannot be one in truth. Let’s take a moment to look at three points which show scripturally that Jesus Christ alone can offer salvation.

"Don't hang out with angry people; don't keep company with hotheads. Bad temper is contagious - don't get infected" (Proverbs 22:24-25).



Is anger contagious? Yes. Can you be infected by somebody else's anger? Certainly. Ever been in a situation where they get loud and you do too? What's happening? There's a transfer of energy. It's contagious.

If you are serious about changing an imbedded, habitual lifestyle of inappropriate anger management, then you need to start hanging out with other people who know how to manage their anger. That's one of the benefits of a church. That's why I believe in joining a church family and getting involved in a small group. You pick up positive values.

The methods we use to express our anger are learned. Since they're learned, they can be unlearned. Parents, every time I blow up and lose my cool, I'm modeling inappropriate anger to my kids. They're learning and you're teaching.

James Dobson says, "Successful marriages are not those marriages where anger or conflicts do not exist. But rather, successful marriages are where they've learned to manage their anger. When anger is managed, it produces great marriages." I'd like to add this: When anger is managed, it also produces great friendships and churches and businesses. It produces great leaders because it channels the emotional energy of anger into a focus that will potentially produce tremendous good.

Let's pray:

"Dear God, I resolve to manage my anger. Today, with your help, I'm going to take control of my temper. I've fallen in the past, but today I make a new commitment, a new start. Help me to realize the cost of my anger: that it causes arguments and mistakes, that it causes me to do foolish things and get into all kinds of trouble. When I lose my temper, I always lose.

"Father, help me to reflect before reacting, to have wisdom and ask myself, 'Why am I angry? What do I really want? How can I get it?' Help me to see the causes beneath my anger. Help me to release my anger appropriately, no longer expressing it through violence, shouting, pouting or just being quiet and holding it in as a grudge. Help me to admit it, confess it to you, myself, and others.

"Help me to re-pattern my mind, to spend daily time with you in your word, have a daily quiet time where my mind can be slowly transformed to think the thoughts that are correct and bring the behavior that I want. Help me to relate to people who have learned or are learning to manage their anger. I pray this is Jesus' name, knowing you are listening and answering. Amen."

"Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind" (Romans 12:2).



The way we act is determined by the way we feel. The way we feel is determined by the way we think. If we want to change the way we act, we've got to change the way we think. If we want to change a habitual pattern of improper anger management—pouting, blowing up, criticizing, etc.—then we need to have some mental reconditioning.

Gary Smalley suggests you begin asking yourself questions like, "Do I enjoy getting angry?" "Does it produce the intended results when I get angry?" "Could I get the same results in a more effective way?" "How would I be different?"

Smalley suggests you write it down and read it aloud to yourself once a week for six months, that's 26 times. Take the time to read it in the presence of another person. That may seem like a lot of work, but how serious are you about changing this habit in your life? How serious are you about getting control of your anger?

I'd suggest using Bible verses in your letter, so that as God's Word fills your thoughts, you're transformed by the renewing of your mind. It's going to change you.

The truth is, angry people are insecure people. The more insecure I am, the more things tick me off. The more insecure I am, the more upset I get and the more irritable I am.

But here's the thing: when you understand how much God loves you and you understand your security in Christ, when you understand how much you matter to God, then you are less likely to be irritable.

Homework: Read Ephesians 1 and Romans 8. They are anti-anger biblical passages because they teach us how deeply God loves us, and that we are secure in him.

"If you become angry, do not let your anger lead you into sin" (Ephesians 4:26).



There are helpful ways and harmful ways to release your anger. For instance, sometimes we'd rather remain angry than admit to our anger. Yet, the Bible says that to be angry and not admit that you are angry is lying. And that's a sin.

Keep in mind: anger is not necessarily wrong. It only becomes wrong if we release it in a way that is inappropriate or destructive. My experience as a pastor is that most of us learned to express our anger when we were two or three years old, and we're still expressing our anger in the same way as adults. Needless to say, this simply doesn't work.

Most people express their anger in such a way that they end up farther away from their goal than they were before they became angry. Anger, expressed inappropriately, has the opposite effect of producing the intended results. Blowing up at people never produces lasting change; it only produces more anger and alienation. We know that but we still do it. It doesn't produce lasting change.

Something to keep in mind is that anger is never really the root problem. It is usually a symptom that reveals one of three things is happening: hurt, fear, frustration. These are the three things that make us angry, and this is why we should always stop and cool down. It allows us to think:

- Am I hurt?
- Am I afraid? Perhaps feeling threatened, or that I'm going to lose something of value?
- Or, am I frustrated?
Understanding the source of your anger will help you respond in an appropriate manner, so that your anger does not "lead you into sin" (Ephesians 4:26).

Resolve to Manage Your Anger



"Love . . . is not easily angered" (1 Corinthians 13:5).



The Bible says, "Love is not easily angered." It doesn't say love never gets angry at all. In fact, sometimes the loving thing to do is to get angry. Jesus became angry in the Temple when he saw his Father's house being run like a marketplace.

At the same time, we can love someone and still get angry at that person. Sometimes the anger may be 'righteous' and sometimes it may be 'selfish,' but the people we love the most are the ones most likely to make us angry.

My point is this: God placed the capacity to get angry into your biological makeup. Being angry is not a sin; it can become a sin if we allow it to push us into destructive behavior, but the emotion itself is not a sin. The Bible says even God gets angry.

You can't avoid anger, but you can learn how to control it. You can resolve to manage it, so it becomes an asset, rather than a liability. This means you quit making excuses and justifying your anger: "That's just me. I just blow up. I can't control it."

Anger can be controlled. Have you ever been in a fight with someone and things are getting pretty loud, but then the telephone rings? Notice how quickly you can manage your anger! You've got a lot more control over your anger than you think you do. Resolve to manage it, then confess, "I can control my anger with God's help."



















Anger: Reflect Before You Respond



"A rebel shouts in anger; a wise man holds his temper in and cools it" (Proverbs 29:11).



When you're angry, don't respond impulsively. Delay is a great tool in controlling anger. I'm not saying delay indefinitely, or even beyond a day; the Bible says don't go to sleep when you're angry. I'm talking about delaying it for five minutes.

When you start to get ticked off, you take 'time out' for a few minutes. Give yourself some time to stop, reflect and think it through. If you don't stop and think, you are likely to do the wrong thing. You need to reflect before you respond.

When we get angry, we need to get in the habit of stepping back, waiting a few minutes, and looking at the situation from God's point of view. Notice the Bible says a wise man lets his anger cool down (Proverbs 29:11). So 'cool it' is a Biblical term! A modern translation might be: "The wise man waits and chills out." Thomas Jefferson, the author of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, said, "When angry, count to ten before you speak. If very angry, count to one hundred."

While you're cooling down, ask yourself three questions to help you understand why you are angry:

- Why am I angry?
- What do I really want?
- How can I get it?

Understanding the reason for your anger will give you greater patience and, perhaps, even the ability to overlook an offense (Proverbs 19:11).

God Says You Are Forgiven



“I am the God who forgives your sins, and I do this because of who I am. I will not hold your sins against you” (Isaiah 43:25).



Some of us, even though we’re believers, think whenever we’re having problems that God’s getting even with us; that God’s just trying to get back at us.

It’s like the guy who was driving up to a mountain lake and on the way up it starts snowing, so he gets out to put chains on his tires. While he’s doing this, another car comes along and slams into his car. And he watches in horror as his car goes over a cliff.

He continues up the mountain on foot, in the snow and sleet, and he’s getting sick from the cold. Then, as he rounds a corner, he sees that his cabin has burned down. He starts hitting his head against the wall, and asks, “Why me, God.” The heavens part and a voice says, “Because some people just tick me off.”

Some of you really feel that is the way God feels about you. You think that whenever you’ve got a problem, God is ticked off. But the Bible says, “I am the God who forgives your sins, and I do this because of who I am. I will not hold your sins against you” (Isaiah 43:25). God doesn’t hold a grudge. If you have received Jesus as your Savior, then there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. He doesn't rub it in, he rubs it out. He doesn’t rehearse it, he releases it.

God Says You Are Capable



You have a right now to go directly to God; you have direct access. You don’t have to pray through anybody else. You don’t have to confess through anybody else. You don’t have to go through anyone else to have fellowship with God. The Bible teaches that you have a direct line now.

In addition, God says you have been gifted for ministry to serve other people. Every Christian is a minister. That doesn’t mean every Christian is a pastor, rather minister. Anytime you’re using your talents and gifts to help others you’re ministering.

Notice the Bible verse above says, “He saved us for his holy work.” You are saved to serve. Why did God save you? So you could serve him.

You may be thinking, “How do I know what my ministry is?” You look at your talents, your gifts, and your abilities. You look at how God shaped you. God wants you to use those talents and gifts to help other people. Every time you do that, that’s called ministry: nothing fancy, scary, or supernatural about it. It’s just helping others.

Can you minister in a sales office? Yes, you can. Can you minister as an accountant? Yes, you can. Can you minister driving a truck? Sure! Anytime you’re helping other people in his name, you’re ministering.

In fact, God says you’re necessary in the church. You’re a necessary part of this family. Look at it this way, if I don’t use my talents—you get cheated. If you don’t use your talents—I get cheated. Everybody else in the congregation gets cheated.

We’re all important; we’re all necessary to do our part as we fit together.

God Says You Are Valuable



“You have been bought and paid for by Christ, so you belong to him—be free now from all these earthly prides and fears” (1 Corinthians 7:23).



God says not only are you accepted, you’re valuable.

How much do you think you’re worth? I’m not talking about your net worth; I’m talking about your self worth. Don’t ever confuse your valuables with your value as a person. You can be rich or poor but it has nothing to do with your value as a person.

What determines value? There are two things that determine value in life:

1. It depends on what someone is willing to pay for it. How much is your house worth? Not as much as you think it is, and probably not as much as it was a year ago. Your house is worth what somebody is willing to pay for it. No more.

How much is a baseball card worth? To some of you, it’s worth nothing. To Matthew, my son, it’s worth a lot of money. Some people are willing to pay $10,000 for a baseball card.

How much is a piece of art worth? Whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

2. It depends on who owned it in the past. Sometimes something is valuable because of who used to own it. For example, would a car owned by Elvis Presley be more valuable than a car you owned? Probably. Or, would a guitar be more valuable because it was owned by John Lennon? I read about a pair of stinky, smelly, worn out basketball shoes that sold for $7,000 at an auction because they happened to be owned by someone named Michael Jordan.

Based on these two things, what’s your value? Ask yourself, “Who owns me?” “What was paid for me?” The Bible says, “You have been bought and paid for by Christ, so you belong to him—be free now from all these earthly prides and fears” (1 Corinthians 7:23).

You have been bought and paid for by Christ. You belong to Jesus. How much does that make you worth?

Now ask yourself, “Who do I belong to?” The Bible says you belong to God. God exchanged his own Son for you! The cross proves your value. Jesus didn’t die for junk. You are incredibly valuable. Nobody has ever paid a greater price than God paid for you. You are acceptable and you are valuable!

Peaceful silence on the air
I savored while meditating
Heartily talking You in depth
You listen my soul who is imperfect
I refresh myself in faith and I worship
In the shaking situation I face, I ask Your help

Heavy trial came my way unexpectedly
It needs a lot of my courage and humility
As things drifted my mind at night
I tried to examine myself and give insight
I was feeling empty and helpless
But I need to move on out of nothingness

I have to fight to win this battle
For the welfare of everyone and all
I know that it will just pass over
In my every prayer You give an answer
You are giving me comfort and care
You are alive, You are just there

As I am solving things one at a time
You give me hope and sunshine
You are a helping and caring Father
With so much unconditional love to share
And behind the visit of this horrifying crisis
I thank you for painting my face a smile

My favorite passage of the gospel is the story of the hypocryts that confronted Jesus with the law of moses, and they brought a woman before Him and said that she was caught in the act of adultery, for which she should be stoned to death, according to the law!
They demanded to know what his position was or if He agreed,that she should be stoned.
He agreed with the law, and said: let he who is without sin cast the first stone!

The hypocryts left , till there was only Jesus and the woman. He asked, where are your accusers? they all left she answerred Him
He then said: neither shall I condemn you... go your way, and sin no more...

I recited this from memory (paraphrased) and urge you to read it for yourself... So when you stumble and fall for the treacheries of satan and his demons...that you ask forgiveness and wash you whiter then snow...He and he alone bought you with his precious blood... no amount of goodwill or good works can eradicate the smallest of sins, as the apostle Paul says : Even the good i do , smells like cowdung in the eyes of God.

In contrast to many human assumptions, the Bible communicates a true picture of God. This remarkable book (THE WORD OF GOD)reveals what He is like, what He has done and what He expects of us. It tells us why we are here and reveals His little-understood plan for His creation. This handbook(THE BIBLE) of basic knowledge is fundamentally different from any other source of information. It is genuinely unique because it contains, in many ways, the very signature of the Almighty GOD.Our LORD and Saviour!

The Creator tells us in His Word: ". . . I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand . . .'" (Isaiah 46:9-10). He tells us He alone not only foretells the future but can bring it to pass. What a powerful testimony to the Mighty God of the Bible!
Inspired by the Holy Spirit, the Bible itself gives us the master key to knowing God: "Scripture speaks of things beyond our hearing, things beyond our imagining, all prepared by God for those who love him, and these are what God has revealed to us through the Spirit, for the Spirit explores everything, even the depths of God's own nature" (1 Corinthians 2:9-10,
We need to know—from inspired Scripture itself—who God is and how He relates to and reveals Himself to us. We need to understand the very nature of our Creator—to know, in the words of Albert Einstein, "the mind of God." Not the mind of the prophets or anybody else but the Mind of GOD!
To claim that you are God is one thing—but to convince people that you are indeed what you say you are is quite another. So how did Jesus' closest followers come to be so convinced that they would lay down their lives for that belief?
Many Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah were fulfilled in precise detail by Jesus of Nazareth. Neither the Jews nor the disciples of Jesus understood at the time that Jesus was fulfilling the messianic prophecies of the Old Testament—even though at times He told them this was the case (Luke 18:31; Matthew 26:56). They were looking for a far different Messiah than the One so many prophecies actually described.

One of Jesus' defenses to the Jews was to appeal to the Old Testament Scriptures themselves, which identified Him as the One to come. "You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me," He told them (John 5:39).

After Jesus was resurrected, He began to help His disciples understand the Scriptures, and the disciples were inspired to declare that Jesus was indeed the Messiah. The proof they offered was the very Scriptures they had not previously understood.
The prophet Isaiah tells us that God the Father "laid on Him the iniquity of us all" (Isaiah 53:6) and "for the transgressions of My people He was stricken" (verse 8). Then Isaiah asserts His innocence—"He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth" (verse 9).

Peter, picking up on Isaiah's words after Jesus' death, confirms that this was so. "For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: 'who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth'; who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; who Himself bore our sins in His own body" (1 Peter 2:21-24).
But with Jesus, those closest to Him—who traveled with Him, ate with Him and walked and talked with Him constantly throughout His ministry—testified to and were willing to die for their belief that He was indeed the sinless Son of God.

Shalom

Hi Elijah……
But U HAVE NOT REALLY ANSWERED OR ADDRESSED THE QUESTION I HAVE ASKED U!!
Jesus said (Not me) “have I not chosen you twelve and one of you is a devil?” then He also said He had kept all of them accept one.
.Here Jesus say’s to His Father……”that the scriptures might be fulfilled”
reply-
He said 'A' devil. NOT 'THE' devil. all antiChrist's are of the devil but NOT necessarily THE DEVIL himself.
The concordance refers to the scriptures fulfilled by Judas in Christ's statement only as -
Psalm 109:8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
Zech. 11:12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.

i find no references to Judas being the one to ascend from the bottomless pit.

u post-
Please explain this for me Elijah
My Post was……
The Hebrew Word for Perdition is Abandon (Destruction) in the Greek he is called the Opollyon (the destroyer) (Rev 9:11)
you’re reply was……
There is one school of thought on this text which spiritualizes it to be the activities of Christ and His followers.
I do not quite follow what u mean by this to be the activities of Christ and His Followers. Please elaborate on it further for me. Thanx!!

reply-
the 'school of thought' ref. to is found at the website - unravelingfalseimages.com under subject Abaddon and Apollyon - i don't necessarily endorse or accept everything posted there.

SHALOM

Muslim also recorded that the Prophet said:

“The first sign[4] would be the appearance of the sun from the west, the appearance of the beast before the people in the forenoon and which of the two happens first, the second one would follow immediately after that.”

This leads directly into the next sign which is the appearance of the Beast of the Earth.
The Beast of the Earth

God says in the Quran,

“And when the Word (of torment) is fulfilled against them, We shall bring out from the earth a beast to them, which will speak to them because mankind believed not with certainty in Our Signs” (al-Naml 27:82).

This verse referrs to the beast of the earth who will appear shortly before the Day of Judgment.

When the Beast comes, it will distinguish the people and declare who is a believer and who is a disbeliever. Ahmad recorded that the Prophet said:

“The beast will appear and he will brand the people on their noses. The people will then go on living with this branding such that a person will buy a camel and when he is asked, ‘From whom did you buy it?’ he will reply, ‘From one of the branded people.’” (Al-Albani)
The Fire that Will Gather the People

This is the last of the great signs. After this starts the beginning of a new experience and creation. Muslim records a hadeeth in which the Prophet stated the ten major signs and it concludes with, “at the end of which fire would burn forth from the Yemen, and would drive people to the place of their assembly.” One can only imagine the intensity of this fire and the shear horror and fear that the individuals alive at that time will experience. After this, all that will be left is for the masses of humanity to be resurrected and to face the reckoning of their Lord.
Final Words

No one, of course, can say why God has chosen to end this creation in the remarkable and amazing fashion that He has so chosen. This is truly an amazing and marvelous creation and perhaps it is fitting that it should be brought to an end via amazing and marvelous events. In any case, a Muslim knows with full certainty that this is what is going to occur, as the Quran and Prophet have described these events. These events will occur and the Hour will be established. With the Hour comes judgment and this is what every human should be thinking about and preparing for, especially as he/she is reading about these events that shall occur before that momentous occasion.

As quoted earlier in a hadeeth (saying of Prophet Muhammad), among the major signs of the Day of Judgment are the three landslides that will occur. One will occur in the East, one in the West and one in the Arabian Peninsula. Not much further information has been given concerning these events—and therefore not much can be added. However, the well-known hadeeth exegete ibn Hajar does note that landslides are a well-known occurrence and have occurred often. Therefore, he says, it is likely that the nature of these three landslides which will occur shortly before the Day of Judgment will be of a much greater magnitude and severity, setting them apart from what occurs customarily in this world.[1] And God alone knows best.
The Smoke

Among the major signs mentioned by the Prophet, may God praise him, is that of “the smoke.” God refers to this event in the Quran, saying:

“Then wait you for the Day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke, covering the people, this will be a painful torment” (Quran 44:10-11)

Again, beyond what has been stated explicitly by the Prophet, very little comment can be made concerning this sign. However, there is a hadeeth in which the Prophet said:

“Verily, your Lord has warned you concerning three [matters]: the smoke that overtakes the believer like a cold and overtakes the disbeliever and makes him swollen until it comes out of his ears.”
The Rising of the Sun from the West

According to a large number of the Quranic commentators, based on the hadeeth of the Prophet, the italicized portion of the following verse is in reference to the phenomenon of the rising of the sun from the West just prior to the Day of Resurrection:

“Do they then wait for anything other than that the angels should come to them, or that your Lord should come, or that some Signs of your Lord should come! The day that some of the Signs of your Lord do come, no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned good (by performing deeds of righteousness) through his Faith. Say [to the disbelievers], ‘Wait you! We (too) are waiting’” (Quran 6:158).

In an authentic narration, the Prophet recited this verse after mentioning the people see the rising of the sun from the West. Thus, al-Bukhari records, that the Prophet said:

“The hour will not be established till the sun rises from the West; and when it rises (from the West) and the people see it, they all will believe. And that is (the time) when no good will it do to a soul to believe then.” Then he recited the complete verse (6:158).

In numerous narrations, the Prophet has made it abundantly clear that the nature of this sign is such that no one would have any reason to doubt, question or refuse to believe after seeing it. When an individual experiences a sign of this nature, the reality virtually becomes exposed to him and, therefore, there is no longer any sense of a trial or test. In fact, at that time, the test is over and the individual is already seeing the results unfolding in front of his/her very eyes. That is why “conversion” to faith will have no meaning at that time and will not be acceptable by God.[2]

However, before this occurs, the door to repentance to God and His mercy is always open—such is how great the mercy of God is but it is also just and based on wisdom. Thus, Muslim recorded that the Prophet said:

“He who seeks repentance (from the Lord) before the rising of the sun from the west (before the Day of Resurrection), God turns to him with Mercy.”

The rising of the sun from the West is one of three greatly definitive signs of this nature. Thus, the Prophet said:

“When three things appear faith will not benefit one who has not previously believed or has derived no good from his faith: the rising of the sun in its place of setting, the Dajjaal, and the beast of the earth.”[3]

In the lengthy hadeeth from which two portions have been quoted above, the Prophet further described the relationship between Jesus and the tribes of Gog and Magog. After Jesus will kill the false messiah, the Prophet continued speaking about what would occur:

“Then a people whom God had protected would come to Jesus, son of Mary, and he would wipe their faces and would inform them of their ranks in Paradise and it would be under such conditions that God would reveal to Jesus these words, ‘I have brought forth from amongst My servants such people against whom none would be able to fight; you take these people safely to the Mount of Toor, and then God would send Gog and Magog and they would swarm down from every slope. The first of them would pass the lake of Tiberius and drink out of it. And when the last of them would pass, he would say, ‘There was once water there.’ Jesus and his companions would then be besieged here (at Toor, and they would be so hard pressed) that the head of the ox would be dearer to them than one hundred dinars (old currency) and God’s Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would supplicate to God, Who would send to them insects (which would attack the necks of the Gog and Magog) and in the morning they would perish like one single person. God’s Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would then come down to the earth and they would not find in the earth as much space as a single span which is not filled with their putrefaction and stench. God’s Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would then again beseech God, Who would send birds whose necks would be like those of Bactrian camels and they would carry them and throw them where God would will. Then God would send rain which no house of clay or (the tent of) camels’ hairs would keep out and it would wash away the earth until it could appear to be a mirror. Then the earth would be told to bring forth its fruit and restore its blessing and, as a result thereof, there would grow (such a big) pomegranate that a group of persons would be able to eat that, and seek shelter under its skin, and a milch cow would give so much milk that a whole party would be able to drink it. And the milch camel would give such (a large quantity of) milk that the whole tribe would be able to drink out of that and the milch sheep would give so much milk that the whole family would be able to drink out of that. At that time God would send a pleasant wind which would soothe (people) even under their armpits, and would take the life of every Muslim and only the wicked would survive who would commit adultery like asses and the Last Hour would come upon them.”

In another important hadeeth from Saheeh Muslim, the Prophet spoke about the future coming of Gog and Magog and, at the same time, stated a very important lesson that all should reflect upon. This lesson has to do with the importance of not allowing evil to be prevalent in society. In this narration, the Prophet said,

“There is no god but God! There is a destruction in store for Arabia because of turmoil which is at hand, the barrier of Gog and Magog has opened so much.”

And Sufyan [the subnarrator] made a sign of ten with the help of his hand (in order to indicate the width of the gap) and I [Zainab, the Prophet’s wife] said,

“God’s Messenger, would we be perished in spite of the fact that there would be good people amongst us?” He replied, “Of course, but only when the evil predominates.”

(Incidentally, there is a great deal of speculation concerning who exactly these tribes are. However, due to space limitations, the discussion here is limited to what is known directly from the texts of the Quran and Sunnah. As such, these are the tribes of Gog and Magog and, with respect to identifying them, very little more can be said, although a couple of hadeeth do give further information concerning their physical characteristics.)

The Tribes of Gog and Magog are referred to in a couple of places in the Quran. In one place in the Quran, God makes it clear that these tribes existed during the time of Dhul-Qarnain. God says:

“Then he [Dhul-Qarnain] followed (another) way, until, when he reached between two mountains, he found, before them a people who scarcely understood a word. They said, ‘O Dhul-Qarnain! Verily! Gog and Magog are doing great mischief in the land. Shall we then pay you a tribute in order that you might erect a barrier between us and them?’ He said, ‘That which my Lord had established me is better (than your tribute). So help me with strength (of men), I will erect between you and them a barrier. Give me pieces (blocks) of iron,’ then, when he had filled up the gap between the two mountain-cliffs, he said, ‘Blow,’ till when he had made it (red as) fire, he said, ‘Bring me molten copper to pour over it.’ So they [Gog and Magog] were made powerless to scale it or dig through it. [Dhul-Qarnain] said, ‘This is a mercy from my Lord, but when the Promise of my Lord comes, He shall level it down to the ground. And the Promise of my Lord is ever true.’ And on that Day [i.e., the day Gog and Magog will come out], We shall leave them to surge like waves on one another, and the Trumpet will be blown, and We shall collect them all together.” (Quran 18:92-99)

Elsewhere in the Quran, God also speaks about them as a sign of the end of times. God says:

“Until, when Gog and Magog are let loose (from their barrier), and they swiftly swarm from every mound. And the true promise (Day of Resurrection) shall draw near (of fulfillment). Then (when mankind is resurrected from their graves), you shall see the eyes of the disbelievers fixedly stare in horror. (They will say), ‘Woe to us! We were indeed heedless of this; nay, but we were wrongdoers.’” (Quran 21:96-97)

The Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, gave the following description for the ruthlessness of these tribes when they are finally released upon the world:

“Gog and Magog would walk until they would reach the mountain of al-Khamar and it is a mountain of Bait-ul-Maqdis and they would say, ‘We have killed those who are upon the earth. Let us now kill those who are in the sky’ and they would throw their arrows towards the sky and the arrows would return to them besmeared with blood.”

Ahmad recorded the following hadeeth in his Musnad:

“Every day, Gog and Magog are trying to dig a way out through the barrier. When they begin to see sunlight through it, the one who is in charge of them says, ‘Go back; you can carry on digging tomorrow,’ and when they come back, the barrier is stronger than it was before. This will continue until their time comes and God wishes to send them forth. They will dig until they begin to see sunlight, then the one who is in charge of them will say, “Go back; you can carry on digging tomorrow, God willing.” In this case he will make an exception by saying, ‘God willing,’ thus relating the matter to the Will of God. They will return on the following day, and find the hole as they left it. They will carry on digging and come out against the people. They will drink all the water, and the people will entrench themselves in their fortresses. Gog and Magog will fire their arrows into the sky, and they will fall back to earth with something like blood on them. Gog and Magog will say, ‘We have defeated the people of earth, and overcome the people of heaven.’ Then God will send a kind of worm in the napes of their necks, and they will be killed by it. By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (God), the beasts of the earth will become fat.” (As-Suyuti)

There are numerous hadeeth which speak about the coming of Jesus during the last days of this world. They give a description of many of the acts of Jesus after his return.

As is clear from the last hadeeth presented under the section concerning the Dajjaal, Jesus’ return will occur while the false messiah is upon the earth. The following is the continuation of the above hadeeth:

“He [the Dajjaal] would then call a person brimming with youth and strike him with the sword and cut him into two pieces and (make these pieces lie at a distance which is generally) between the archer and his target. He would then call (that young man) and he will come forward laughing with his face gleaming (with happiness) and it would be at this very time that God would send Christ, son of Mary, and he will descend at the white minaret in the eastern side of Damascus wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels. When he would lower his head, there would fall beads of perspiration from his head, and when he would raise it up, beads like pearls would scatter from it. Every unbeliever who would smell the odor of his being would die and his breath would reach as far as he would be able to see. He would then search for him (the Dajjaal) until he would catch hold of him at the gate of Ludd and would kill him.”

Al-Bukhari and Muslim record that the Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, stated:

“By Him in Whose hand is my life, the son of Mary (may peace be upon him) will soon descend among you as a just judge. He will break crosses, kill swine and abolish Jizyah[1] and the wealth will pour forth to such an extent that no one will accept it.”

At the time of his appearance, he will bring an end to all of the false beliefs which crept into Christianity. Thus, he will break all of the crosses, as they signify a worship of him. Similarly, at his time, he will not accept the jizyah because there will be no excuse for any Jew or Christian not to believe in him and follow him. In another narration of the same hadeeth, there is a mention of the state of the followers of Jesus at that time. The Prophet said:

“He would leave the young she-camel and no one would endeavor to (collect Zakat on it). Spite, mutual hatred and jealousy against one another will certainly disappear and when he summons people to accept wealth, not even one would accept it.” In other hadeeth, the following is described, “Peace will prevail and people will use their swords as sickles. Every harmful beast will be made harmless; the sky will send down rain in abundance, and the earth will bring forth its blessings. A child will play with a fox and not come to any harm; a wolf will graze with sheep and a lion with cattle, without harming them.”[2]

At the time of Jesus’ return, the Muslims will be lead by the Mahdi (A guided leader), as is mentioned in various hadeeth, such as the Prophet’s words:

“What will be your state when the son of Mary descends among you and there will be an Imam among you?” (Al-Bukhari, Muslim)

In another hadeeth in Saheeh Muslim, it reads:

“A section of my people will not cease fighting for the Truth and will prevail till the Day of Resurrection.” He then said, “Jesus son of Mary would then descend and their (Muslims’) commander would invite him to come and lead them in prayer, but he would say, ‘No, some among you are commanders over some (among you). This is the honor from God for this Nation.’”

This hadeeth is evidence that when Jesus returns, he will not return in the role of being a new messenger with a new law. Instead, he will return as a follower of the Prophet Muhammad and submitting to the laws of Islam. In fact, another hadeeth in Saheeh Muslim describes Jesus as performing the Islamic ritual of Hajj (pilgrimage).

A hadeeth in Saheeh Muslim further describes that Jesus will remain ruling among the people for seven years. The Prophet said:

“Then people would live for seven years that there would be no rancor between two persons. Then God would send cold wind from the side of Syria that none would survive upon the earth having a speck of good in him or faith in him but he would die, so much so that even if some amongst you were to enter the innermost part of the mountain, this wind would reach that place also and that would cause his death.” He further said, “Only the wicked people would survive and they would be as careless as birds with the characteristics of beasts. They would never appreciate the good nor condemn evil.”

As stated earlier, when one of these great signs appear, the others are soon to follow. It is in the context of Jesus’ return that the Prophet also spoke about Gog and Magog.

The following longer hadeeth from Saheeh Muslim gives a more detailed account of the exploits of the Dajjaal and it will lead directly into the next occurring major sign of the Day of Judgment, the return of Jesus:

An-Nawwas ibn Sam’aan reported that God’s Messenger made a mention of the Dajjaal one day in the morning. He sometimes described him to be insignificant and sometimes described (his turmoil) as very significant and we felt as if he were in the cluster of the date-palm trees. When we went to him (to the Prophet) in the evening and he read (the signs of fear) in our faces, he said, “‘What is the matter with you?’ We said, ‘God’s Messenger, you made a mention of the Dajjaal in the morning (sometimes describing him) to be insignificant and sometimes very important, until we began to think as if he were present in some (near) part of the cluster of the date-palm trees.’ Thereupon he said, ‘I harbor fear in regard to you in so many other things besides the Dajjaal. If he comes forth while I am among you, I shall contend with him on your behalf, but if he comes forth while I am not among you, a man must contend on his own behalf and God would take care of every Muslim on my behalf (and safeguard him against his evil). He (the Dajjaal) would be a young man with twisted, contracted hair, and a blind eye. I compare him to Abd−ul−’Uzza b. Qatan. He who among you would survive to see him should recite over him the opening verses of Surah al-Kahf. He would appear on the way between Syria and Iraq and would spread mischief right and left. O servant of God! Adhere (to the path of Truth).’ We said, ‘God’s Messenger, how long would he stay on the earth?’ He said, ‘For forty days, one day like a year and one day like a month and one day like a week and the rest of the days would be like your (normal) days.’ We said, ‘God’s Messenger, would one day’s prayer suffice for the prayers of day equal to one year?’ Thereupon he said, ‘No, but you must make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer).’ We said, ‘God’s Messenger, how quickly would he walk upon the earth?’ Thereupon he said, ‘Like a cloud driven by the wind. He would come to the people and invite them (to a wrong religion) and they would affirm their faith in him and respond to him. He would then give a command to the sky and there would be rainfall upon the earth and it would grow crops. Then in the evening, their posturing animals would come to them with their humps very high and their udders full of milk and their flanks stretched. He would then come to another people and invite them. But they would reject him and he would go away from them and there would be drought for them and nothing would be left with them in the form of wealth. He would then walk through the waste land and say to it, ‘Bring forth your treasures,’ and the treasures would come out and collect (themselves) before him like the swarm of bees. He would then call a person brimming with youth and strike him with the sword and cut him into two pieces and (make these pieces lie at a distance which is generally) between the archer and his target. He would then call (that young man) and he will come forward laughing with his face gleaming (with happiness) and it would at this very time that God would send Christ, son of Mary…’”

Another one of the amazing signs shortly before the Day of Judgment is the return and descending of Jesus (peace and blessings of God be upon him) to this earth again. God says in the Quran:

“And because of their saying (in boast), ‘We killed Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of God,’ - but they did not kill him and nor did they crucify him, but the resemblance of Jesus was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. Surely, they did not kill him. But God raised him (Jesus) up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And God is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise. And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), but must believe in him (Jesus) before his death. And on the Day of Resurrection, he (Jesus) will be a witness against them.” (Quran 4:157-159)

The words, “And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), but must believe in him (Jesus) before his death,” refer to Jesus’ worldly death after he returns to earth. At that time, the Jews and Christians will finally believe in him as a Messenger of God and a human being only, as that will be the only option possible at that time. In fact, some scholars state that part of the wisdom in Jesus’ return is the final and undeniable refutation of the Jews’ claim that they had crucified him and to bring an end to the false claim that he was the Son of God.

Hi Elijah……How are u this fine Morning??
Ok I understand where you are coming from!
Your reply was then basically that there are and there were many Antichrists operating in those days and even today still. Yes I know and that is correct! But U HAVE NOT REALLY ANSWERED OR ADDRESSED THE QUESTION I HAVE ASKED U!!
I ASKED…….IN John 17:5-12 Jesus refers to losing only one and that was the son of Perdition. That was Judas Iscariot. Jesus said, have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? (John 6:70) (Of the evil one and a false accuser)…. Jesus himself referred to Judas as the Devil. My QUESTION WAS...around this verse and not about many being the Antichrist. :O) This is in the Word and we cannot ignore it. Jesus Calls Judas the “SON OF PERDITION” AND IT SAYS IN THE Word that the “SON OF PERDITION “will come up from the bottomless pit.
Let’s look at this posting of mine…. IN In John 17:6-11 Jesus was asking, to keep them whom the Father had given to Him. Now look at John 17:12 now this verse refers to the Antichrist… While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
Here we see that Jesus was speaking of the Son of Perdition. Jesus had twelve Disciples and He kept eleven of them. One betrayed Him! Judas Iscariot the son of perdition. Judas is one of a kind. Jesus said (Not me) “have I not chosen you twelve and one of you is a devil?” then He also said He had kept all of them accept one.
.Here Jesus say’s to His Father……”that the scriptures might be fulfilled”

I was not asking about the scripture u gave below Elijah…
1Jn 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.??????????
I was wondering and asking about the above scriptures and would love an answer on this one Please :O) we are Bible Scholars and we are searching here. So I am asking anybody out there what they think about this Scripture I have come across.
Ok one more then I have to go to Work :O)
Please explain this for me Elijah
My Post was……
The Hebrew Word for Perdition is Abandon (Destruction) in the Greek he is called the Opollyon (the destroyer) (Rev 9:11)
you’re reply was……
There is one school of thought on this text which spiritualizes it to be the activities of Christ and His followers.
I do not quite follow what u mean by this to be the activities of Christ and His Followers. Please elaborate on it further for me. Thanx!!
Shalom

Like all religious deceivers, those who are cognizant of the truth will be able to see behind his amazing schemes and tricks. The following hadeeth makes this point very clear. Abu Saeed al-Khudri reported that God’s Messenger one day gave a detailed account of the Dajjaal, and in that he mentioned the following:

“He would come but would not be allowed to enter the mountain passes to Medina. So he will come to stop at some tracts of land (which contain high concentrations of salt and wherein seepage occurs causing them to be barren) adjacent to the city of Medina, and a person who would come out (to where the Dajjaal is) and say to him, ‘I bear testimony to the fact that you are the Dajjaal about whom God’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) had informed us.’ The Dajjaal would then say (to his followers), ‘What would be your opinion if I were to kill this (person) and then bring him back to life, even then would you harbor some doubt in this matter?’ They would respond, ‘No.’ He would then kill (the man) and then bring him back to life. When he would bring that person back to life, he would say, ‘By God, I had no better proof of the fact (that you are a Dajjaal) than at the present time.’ The Dajjaal would then make an attempt to kill him (again) but he would not be able to do so.”



One of the many aspects that one learns about via the story of the Dajjaal is that worldly wealth and achievements are not what determine a person’s worth and true value. Indeed, a person could possess all that the world contains yet if he is devoid of faith in his heart, he is truly worth nothing. Thus, another hadeeth in Saheeh Muslim reads:

Mugheerah ibn Shu’ba stated: No one asked God’s Messenger, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, more about the Dajjaal than I. He said (to me), “He should not be a source of worry to you for he would not be able to do any harm to you.” I said, “God’s Messenger, it is alleged that he would have along with him (abundance of) food and water.” Thereupon he said, “He (the Dajjaal) and his ability to misguide the believers with what God has allowed to be created by his (the Dajjaal’s) hands (i.e., the large quantities of food and water with him) would be insignificant in comparison to God’s ability to make these events a source for increasing the faith of the believers.”

Also mentioned in Saheeh Muslim are some hadeeths in which the Prophet Muhammad stated:

“There will be no land which the Dajjaal would not pass through or traverse except for Mecca and Medina, and there would no passage out of the passages leading to them which would not be guarded by angels arranged in rows. Then he (the Dajjaal) would appear in some tracts of land (which contain high concentrations of salt and wherein seepage occurs causing them to be barren) adjacent to the city of Medina and it (Medina) would sake violently such that every unbeliever and hypocrite would exit from it and move towards him (the Dajjaal).”

The Prophet also described the followers of the Dajjaal when he said:

“The Dajjaal would be followed by seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan wearing Persian shawls.”

The second category of these major signs leaves no doubt as to the actual occurring of the Resurrection and the end of this Creation as humans know it now. In addition, there will be a distinguishing of the believer from the disbeliever. Hence, during and after these signs, there will be no question of repentance or returning to God. At that time, it would be too late for any repentance to be accepted by God. The signs in this category would include the appearance of the beast, the smoke and the rising of the sun from the West.

It also seems to be true that when these signs begin to occur, one will be following up the other at a relatively fast pace.[3] The Prophet said:

“The signs shall appear one after the other like the beads on a string follow one another.”[4]

Ahmad recorded in his Musnad that the Prophet said:

“The signs are like beads strung on a string. If the string breaks, they [quickly] follow one after the other.”

A brief discussion shall be given of each of the major signs mentioned by the Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, in the above hadeeth.[1] Obviously, since this is a discussion related to matters of the “unseen,” that is, matters that humans have yet to witness and experience, much of the discussion will be restricted to exactly what has been mentioned in the texts of the Quran or the Sunnah.
Al-Dajjaal (The False Messiah)

Numerous are the hadeeth of the Prophet concerning the coming of the Dajjaal or the false Messiah.[2] These hadeeth demonstrate what a great trial and temptation this person is going to be for all humans, believers and disbelievers alike. For example, the Prophet mentioned that all of the previous prophets also warned their people about the coming of the Dajjaal. The Prophet said:

“There has never been a prophet who has not warned the Nation of that one-eyed liar (the Dajjaal).” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari

Furthermore, the Prophet, as recorded in authentic hadeeth, used to seek refuge in God during his prayers from the trials of the false messiah.

The various hadeeth of the Prophet provide a great deal of information about the Dajjaal. The Prophet, for example, made it clear that he is a human being.[3] In general, the true believer should not be deceived by the Dajjaal because the Prophet has given such a clear description of him that there is very little room for him to deceive a believer. However, this emphasizes the importance of knowledge in Islam. If someone is completely unaware of how the Prophet described the Dajjaal, then it would not be surprising that he may fall for some of the tricks and deception of this evil being.

The numerous hadeeth about the Dajjaal include a description of the Dajjaal’s physical features. These hadeeth include the following:

Muslim recorded that Ibn Umar narrated that God’s Messenger, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, made a mention of Dajjaal in the presence of the people and said: “God is not one-eyed and behold that Dajjaal is blind in the right eye and his eye would be like a floating grape.”

In another hadeeth recorded by Imam Muslim and others, the Prophet said: “There would be written three (Arabic) letters: Kaaf[4] Faa[5] and Raa[6] These three letters in this order form the basis for Arabic word “Kaafir” which means disbeliever, between the eyes of the Dajjaal.” In another hadeeth, the Prophet stated that every Muslim would be able to read those letters.

The Prophet also described some of what the Dajjaal would come with. For example, Imam Muslim recorded that the Prophet said:

“The Dajjaal would have with him water and fire and his fire would have the effect of cold water and his water would have the effect of fire, so don’t put yourself to ruin.”

The Companion of the Prophet Hudhaifah similarly stated, “I know more than you as to what there would be along with the Dajjaal. There would be along with him two canals (one flowing with water) and the other one (having) fire (within it), and what you would see as fire would be water and what you would see as water would be fire. So he who among you is able to see that and is desirous of water should drink out of that which he sees as fire.” (Muslim)

Comprehensive Hadeeth about the Major Signs of the Day of Judgment

The major signs are those signs that will occur relatively close to the Day of Judgment and involve matters that can be considered, in general, “out of the ordinary” or which are sensational.

There are a number of hadeeth in which the Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, mentioned the greater signs of the Day of Judgment together. These hadeeth include the following:

Imam Muslim records in his Saheeh:

Hudhaifa b. Usaid Ghifari narrated, “God’s Messenger came to us all of a sudden as we were (busy in a discussion). He said, ‘What are you discussing?’ They (the Companions) said, ‘We are discussing the Last Hour.’ Thereupon he said, ‘It will not come until you see ten signs before it.’ And (in this connection) he made a mention of the smoke, Dajjaal, the beast, the rising of the sun from the west, the descent of Jesus son of Mary (may God praise them), Gog and Magog, and landslides in three places, one in the east, one in the west and one in Arabia, at the end of which a fire would burn forth from the Yemen and drive people to the place of their assembly.’”

Muslim also writes in his Saheeh:

The Messenger of God said, “The Last Hour would not come until the ten signs appear: a landslide in the east, and a landslide in the west, and a landslide in the peninsula of Arabia, the smoke, the Dajjaal, the beast of the earth, Gog and Magog, the rising of the sun from the west and the fire which would emit from the lower part of Aden.” Shu’ba said that ‘Abd al− ‘Aziz b. Rufai’ reported on the authority of Abu Tufail who reported on the authority of Abu Sariha a hadeeth like this that God’s Apostle did not make a mention of (the tenth sign) but he said that out of the ten one was the descent of Jesus Christ, son of Mary (peace be upon him), and in another version it is the blowing of the violent gale which would drive the people to the ocean.

There are a couple of other hadeeth in which the Prophet mentioned some of the same events as above. In these hadeeth, he did not mention them as explicitly being signs of the Hour. Instead, the Prophet gave a very strong admonition and warning that people must perform their good deeds before these events occur, as these events directly herald the ending of the time for deeds and the beginning of the time of reckoning. Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of God said:

“Hasten to do good deeds before six things happen: the rising of the sun from the west, the smoke, the Dajjaal, the beast and (the death) of one of you or the general turmoil.” (Muslim)

Note that in this hadeeth the Prophet mentioned, “the death of one of you.” This is also a type of “hour.” Although it is interesting and important to learn and know the major signs of the Hour, for those who will not witness the events of the Last Days, it is their hour—their death—that they must prepare for and concerning which many are negligent. Thus, when a Bedouin came to the Prophet and asked him, “When is the Hour?” the Prophet pointed to a young boy and said, “If this boy lives, by the time he is old and decrepit, your hour would have already taken place.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)
The Order of Appearance and the Nature of the Major Signs

Yoosuf al-Waabil notes that he has found no explicit texts that mention the order of appearance of the major signs of the Day of Judgment. The hadeeth which mention the signs in a group, like those just quoted above, either use the conjunction “and” or “or.” In neither case do these conjunctions give any positive indication as to the time ordering of the events. In fact, as al-Waabil notes, some of the same hadeeth mention the events in different orderings.[1]

Ibn Hajar, however, has divided the major signs into two main categories, one definitely occurring before the other.[2] The first set of signs is those that occur on this earth, without the nature of this earth changing completely. These are signs that should clearly awaken the people and drive them to repent to God. During those signs, there is no ultimate distinguishing between the believer and the disbeliever nor is there any unquestionable occurrence in this creation that makes it clear that the Resurrection is at hand. The signs of this category include the coming of the Dajjaal, the return of Jesus, Gog and Magog and the landslides.

No one can know when the Day of Judgment will occur. However, God has mercifully taught His messengers some of the signs that alert one to the fact that the Hour is approaching. These signs play a very important role, especially for those who live at a time distant from the Prophet and who did not experience first hand his teaching and example. These signs reinforce one’s belief in the Prophet. More importantly, these signs, if one takes the time to reflect upon them, are a reminder of the Day of Judgment. They should revive the heart of the person and make him recall what he is doing on this earth and to where all this is heading.

The signs of the Hour can be divided into two types. First are those that occur as part of the changes in everyday life. These are known as the “minor signs.” The second are the extraordinary or supernatural events that will occur just before the actual Hour. These are known as the “major signs.” Although the focus of this article will be the major signs, it is worthwhile to make a few points concerning the minor signs.
“The Minor Signs”

Although the intent of this article is to cover the major signs, the author would like to include a few points about the “minor signs,” since they are often neglected as people concentrate on the more “sensational” major signs. Minor signs are those signs that may occur long before the actual Last Day and, in general, they are related to day-to-day changes that occur in worldly events. The number of minor signs is numerous.[1] Many have already occurred and many others continue to occur.[2] Thus, minor signs can occur repeatedly around an individual yet many remain oblivious to them and to their importance. In fact, in the famous hadeeth of the Angel Gabriel, when the Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, offered to tell Gabriel – in front of his Companions - some of the signs of the Hour (after the Prophet was informed about them previously), he mentioned only some “minor signs.” Perhaps, God knows best, this is because these are the signs that have much more of an effect on one’s everyday life and worship, although the recognition of these signs are sometimes more difficult or subtle.

When one witnesses these signs around him, they should be clear reminders of God and one’s future meeting with God. They should also fortify one’s belief in God and, in particular, in the truthfulness of the Prophet Muhammad. These signs that the Prophet spoke about years—even centuries—before they ever occurred should, in addition to all of the facts concerning the Prophet Muhammad, work to strengthen an individual’s belief about the truth of Islam. Thus, they have a great role to play if the individual makes himself alert and awake to what is going on around him.

In addition, these signs should be a reminder that God has foreknowledge of everything that is occurring in this world— this is how He could convey those signs to His messenger. Therefore, God also has knowledge of everything the person is doing. God is watching and aware of every act of His creatures. At the very least, this consciousness, which comes about through witnessing the Signs of the Hour, should make the person worship and fear God knowing full well that He is seeing him. This is the superior level of faith known as ihsaan.

Only a couple of minor signs will be mentioned here, while the reader is greatly encouraged to research this topic further.

The Prophet stated:

“From among the signs of the Hour is the common appearance of lewd acts, working to bring about lewd acts, the cutting off of the ties of relationship and the trusting of deceivers.” (At-Tabarani)

The manifestation of this hadeeth can be seen daily in a person’s life, especially the first two or three aspects mentioned. One needs only leave one’s house, turn on a television or surf the Internet to see how prominent lewd acts—those acts which are considered lewd by Islamic Law—are today. Indeed, great effort and expense is exhausted in producing and presenting them to as many people as possible.

The Prophet also said:

“From among the signs of the Hour is the abundance of wealth, increasing of ignorance, numerous tribulations and widespread trading and business.” (Al-Hakim)

Capitalist economists boast about the amount of wealth there is in the world today. Indeed, it seems as if business and trade are the most important agendas in the world today, outstripping any moral values or even the sanctity of human lives. When this is accompanied by ignorance—especially ignorance of the religion of God—and an increase in trials, tribulations, fighting and wars, the result for humankind is nothing short of disastrous. Yet this is what can be seen throughout the world today.

I HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED MY SET OF BOOK

O! man, how adventurous and wicked art thou
you pears holes and vacuums in the heart of a woman,
yet we do nothing.
You took advantage of our tender fragile heart,
you know we bruise easily so be gentle when you handle us.
You promised the womanhood paradise when you can't give out your affections, love and time.
You knew the joy of every woman is to wake-up every morning and see her man right beside her.
You knew nothing is as sweet as what would have happened all-through the night.
You knew nothing makes her happier than taking her to the climax(orgasm).
The woman offered her time, love and dedication to you,
yet you refuse to play your role by paying her back.
How long shall the nature of the woman remain the same?
When we fall in love,
our heart is been broken;
When we trust,
we are been left disappointed.
Who will pick-up the pieces of our broken heart to make us love again?
Who will give us the courage to trust again?
With our fragile heart we need to protect.
What would every woman do?

Elijah Asks………
Has anyone else here harboured thoughts such as 'will He eventually save people like JUDAS Iscariot who betrayed Him'?
Laura answers…….As I understand it Elijah, Judas Iscariot failed by turning away from the LORD’S forgiveness and His Love, ---- Then he went into the darkest bottomless pit.
Now I have a question for u….. In reading the Word and hearing from some Preaches…” do u think that in the future Judas Iscariot will come out of the Pit as the ANTICHRIST?

reply-
My question was just a 'teaser'.
There are many who from John's day were identified as antiChrist or operating in that spirit.
1 John 2:18
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
# 1 John 2:22
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
# 1 John 4:3
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
# 2 John 1:7
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
u post-
The Hebrew Word for Perdition is Abanddon (Destruction) in the Greek he is called the Opollyon (the destroyer) (Rev 9:11)
reply-
There is one school of thought on this text which spiritualizes it to be the activities of Christ and His followers.
u post-
In Acts 1:25-26 it says that the Antichrist will go to his own place (where he belonged) to his own proper place. I am using two different bibles here the KJV and the AMPLIFIED Bible.
2 Thes. 2:1-3 tells us that there will be a falling away before the man of sin, the son of perdition, is revealed.
V.7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. This verse is talking about the Holy Spirit being taken away.
reply-
Many claim as u do that this speaks of the Holy Spirit, but when seen in context of Paul's previous visit and personal instructions to the Thessalonians, He was actually referring to the Civil Roman Authority of the day, which as long as it remained in power- 'let''preventing' or in the way of the rise to power of the succeeding Papal (antiChrist) system. The Christians then were actually praying fervently that political Rome would never fall, because of this prophesy.
u post-
Rev. 17:8 say: “The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Reply-
this is extensively dealt with here at WLC in the prediction of the Satanic impersonation of Pope John Paul 2 returning as the final antiChrist!

scripture points to such a scenario surrounding the Papacy - not to Judas - who was indeed among many others a self evident antiChrist.

P.S hope this helped a little :O)

Elijah Asks………
Has anyone else here harboured thoughts such as 'will He eventually save people like JUDAS Iscariot who betrayed Him'?
Laura answers…….As I understand it Elijah, Judas Iscariot failed by turning away from the LORD’S forgiveness and His Love, and in his darkest hour could not find his way back to the LORD Jesus Christ. He at that point must have realized or known that he had betrayed innocent Blood. Yet, still in his darkness he could not find his way back, so he hung himself. Then he went into the darkest bottomless pit.
Now I have a question for u….. In reading the Word and hearing from some Preaches…” do u think that in the future Judas Iscariot will come out of the Pit as the ANTICHRIST????(Plese have an open mind Elijah):O) I will give u some scripture for this, as not to cause any confusion :O) WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT U THINK ABOUT THIS or what Papa Yahweh shows you!! I am not being dogmatic about this….like u I am just a scholar and would love to learn more. But cannot help thinking when reading this it might be so!! :O)
We read that the Antichrist is going to come up out of the Bottomless Pit, the sea, with a resurrected Body.
The Word Antichrist means against Christ. Leviathan was the first against Christ and against God the Father.
In John 17:5-12 Jesus refers to losing only one, and that was the son of Perdition. That was Judas Iscariot. Jesus said, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? (John 6:70) (Of the evil one and a false accuser)…. it says in the Amplified Bible.
The Hebrew Word for Perdition is Abanddon (Destruction) in the Greek he is called the Opollyon (the destroyer) (Rev 9:11)
In Acts 1:25-26 it says that the Antichrist will go to his own place (where he belonged) to his own proper place. I am using two different bibles here the KJV and the AMPLIFIED Bible.
2 Thes. 2:1-3 tells us that there will be a falling away before the man of sin, the son of perdition, is revealed.
V.7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. This verse is talking about the Holy Spirit being taken away.
Rev. 17:8 say: “The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. God has demonstrated to us in so many ways that He is a loving Father and a loving Father chastens and corrects us. God has never created begotten or created creature that cannot bow his knees at the appointed time. He will prove who He is both by blessing and by judgement.

In John 17:6-11 Jesus was asking, to keep them whom the Father had given to Him. Now look at John 17:12 Now this verse refers to the Antichrist… While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
Here we see that Jesus was speaking of the Son of Perdition. Jesus had twelve Disciples and He kept eleven of them. One betrayed Him! Judas Iscariot the son of perdition! Father is not going to stop till everything is brought back to Him, this we know! Judas is one of a kind. Jesus said (Not me) “have I not chosen you twelve and one of you is a devil?” then He also said He had kept all of them accept one.—the son of Perdition. Ok I think I have given u enough to see what you think or if I am wrong. I know this is very touchy Subject but I am just pointing out here what the Word of God tells me and according to Scripture it might just be that Judas Iscariot might well be the Antichrist!! So to answer your question Elijah…. “NO” I don’t think Judas will be forgiven going according to these verses
Looking forward to your reply!!
Bless u my Brother
Shalom

great post.
most 'confusion' really results from disobedience which results in refusal to accept TRUTH when it is presented according to scripture and not based on traditional doctrines and denominational biases.
Indeed, only full acceptance of all HIS TRUTH can lead us to truly appreciate or value His Grace!

The looming battle of armageddon will establish the distinct line between truth and falsehood! it is on our doorsteps!

Hi MOSES ONODUA, “NOT QUITE FOLLOWING YOUR POST ON HAVING TO BE VERY CAREFUL OF CONFUSION.” MORE CONFUSION??? DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!!
Remember our fight is not against flesh and blood. We are to fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on Eternal life, where unto you are called, and has professed a good profession before many witnesses (1Timothy 6:12)
You must understand that those who lay hold of their Salvation and those who grow up in the Lord Jesus Christ’s spiritual stature, must fight the good fight against our sinful flesh and the corruption of our flesh. Against all the oppositions of the powers of Darkness. I would also like to bring to your attention that the believer’s weapons of spiritual warfare are not CARNAL!! They consist of God’s WORD and SPIRIT! (2Cor. 10:3-4)
As a Christian Soldier, Paul fought the good fight….”I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the Faith.”
Paul in the Word was happy to look back and see that his life was lived as a Christian and he fought the good fight of Faith in his warfare against the powers of darkness with their powers of distrust and unbelief in God’s Holy Nature. Our life, as believers are both in warfare and in a race. You must understand that this is a good warfare because it is for a good cause. It is for the victory of God’s plan in our lives! It is for the victory of God’s purpose in our lives. It is a good plan and purpose because, the race is a good race and because the prize at the end is certain. It is ETERNAL! The Apostle Paul charged Timothy to war a good warfare.
At the end of this dispensation, we will see how Jesus Christ, who has all mighty power will overcome the Devil, the Antichrist and all of his armies. SO Moses my prayer is that all of us, each and everyone of us who is in this Spiritual family, will have the Wisdom and the understanding to join the LORD’S ARMY SO THAT WE CAN ALL BE ON THE WINNING SIDE!! Amen!!
So yes by now, if we are running the race and fighting the good fight we should and would be aware of his activities and that he is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour……BUT! Do we have to give him a place of exaltation? NO I do not think so!!!!
We just have to look to Jesus the Author and the finisher of our FAITH and keep the GOOD FAITH and run the RACE, and the Lion of Judah will always answer when we call upon Him. When we do that there will be no confusion in the Kingdom of God!also remember we are not perfect, our flesh will always be in the way, I once saw a bumper sticker....it said, "Please Be Patient With Me, God is Not Finished With Me Yet." So... we will make mistakes and I Pray that none of us here will lead anybody astray, or let there be be any confusion or more confusion amongst the postings here. We all love the Lord and all want to learn more and be taught the way in which we should walk. As we look to God's love and Truth, His Kindness, Sterness, Grace and Judgement, it helps to draw us to His kindness and enables us to value His Grace.
Bless u Moses

LAURA ANSWERS.......
Yes you are right Hell was never meant for any of the children of God my brother. But we have choices and we have to choose this day whom we will serve. And like Joshua said "this day Me and my house, WE will serve the Lord." So yes we have the choice to go the Hell or to Heaven. There is no greys inbetween. It is either the right choice or the wrong choice. Our Heavenly Papa never wanted for any of us to go into to hell. Because, it was never created for us, but for the fallen angels. oh' how it must break His heart to see us making all these wrong choices in life. So we can only pray for our lost souls and those who make the wrong choices. Because His grace and His mercy are so great that He will never stop whoeing His children back to Him By His Preciouse Holy Spirit. Because the Word tells me that His Mercies are new every Mornng. But, I also want to add that there is a time of sinning away your time of Grace. So we need to be very careful and watch and pray, and like the Virgins be ready at the time of the sound of the Trumpet.

Let us fast and pray for our country on 9-11-09. Pray for our leaders, unbelievers and the unsaved. We need to draw closer to God for he does care for us.

Thanks for all your contributions. However, is it the plan of God for anyone to go to hell? The answer is an emphatic NO. God did not propose anyone to go to hel. Hell is actually made for Satan and his fallen angels but becuase of the disobedience of mankind and sinful nature of many, many will eventually found themselves in hell. The issue of Heaven and hell is a matter of choice. If you choose heaven you have to abide by the conditions. Thanks.

Thanks for your interesting posts Solomon,

THE IMAGE WITH IRON AND CLAY FEET.
written by solomon Arthur, September 05, 2009

A comment was made recently that the 'clay' also represents a source of 'silicon' which is used in the manufacture of computer chips which now virtually RULE THE WORLD!

Daniel 2:41 : And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of Potter's clay and part of iron, the kingdom shall be devided, but there shall be in it the strength of the iron, for as much as thou sawest iron mixed with MIRY clay.

What is the meaning of potter's clay?
Jeremiah 18:6 the Bible says “O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? Saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand. O house of Israel. So God is likening the house of Israel as potter's clay.
The house of Israel are God's people(According to Romans 2:28:29, Romans 9:6:8, Galatians 3:28:29, Hebrews 8:10

Anyone who join themselves to the lord and become Christians are now part of the Israel of God.)

Acts 7:37-38 This is that moses which said unto the house of Israel. A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren like unto me; him shall ye hear. This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him.......

So the potter's clay represents God's church.

I saiah 64:8 But now O LORD, thou art thou art our Father, we are the clay, and thou our Potter; and we are all the work of thy hand.

So GOD has likened his poeple as potter's clay.

But notice that, in Daniel 2:41, the Potter's clay, became miry clay at the end of the verse.
Potter's clay= clay with no foreign materials
Miry clay= Clay with foreign materials added, not clean clay.

Now, Daniel 2:41 said "there shall be in it the strength of the iron" Which means that the iron had more power over the clay making it miry clay.

Now, we know that the potter clay is God's church, so Miry clay will represent a dirty church. take a look at this verse abaout miry clay.

Notice that the iron represents the pagan roman empire, this means that at some point in history, the pagan roman empire united with God's church and converted the church into pagan church by introducing pagan practices. Which is a union of church and state.

Now, what is miry clay in the Bible? Psalm 40:2 and he brought me out also out of the horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. Here David, is talking about how God brought him out of the horrible pit out of sin which is miry clay.
So what is sin? 1John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin also transgresseth the law, for sin is the transgression of the law.

So when the church united with the pagan roman empire, it sinned by breaking God's commandments. Which commandment did the church break during history? yes, it was the change of the 4th commandment from the last day of the week to the first day of the week, and also the 2nd commandment. Are the majority following paganism today?

Paul wrote in Colosians 2:14-17 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us contrary to us and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross......let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink or in respect to the holiday or new moon or the sabbath days.

Is paul saying the 4th commandment is done away with? If that was so, then this statement made by Jesus himself will be false:

Mathew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle shall in any wise pass from the law until all is fulfilled.

Since the bible never contradicts its self, lets see what paul meant.
Again, Paul wrote in Colosians 2:14-17 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us contrary to us and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross......let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink or in respect to the holiday or new moon or the sabbath days. Is paul talking about the book of the law(law of moses) or the Ten commandments?

Deuteronomy 31:24- And it came to pass, when moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until it was finished, That moses commanded the levites, which bare the ark of covenant of the lord, saying,take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the Ark of the covenant of the lord your God, that it may be a witness against you. So as we can all see Deut 31:24, its the book of the law that was against us, not the ten commandments.


Does the book of the law contain ceremonies that had to do with meat or drink new moons and sabbath days? Lets find out. Leviticus 23:23-38 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.........

Leviticus 16:29
And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you: 30 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. 31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you
