"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
Therefore encourage one another with these words."
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

— Let us pray the Holy Spirit will touch more hearts with a burden for all in Israel to hear the life-giving message of the gospel.
Guide and protect the little nation of Israel, in a world that would seek to erase them off the face of the map and drive them into the seas....
For You have promised to return to earth and to set up Your kingdom when that nation calls upon the name of the Lord, and cries.....
“Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord

Heavenly Father,
We are in this world, but not of it.
We are only passing through.
And in the passing through we are not alone because You are with us.
Lord, remind us that in Your presence we find shelter to withstand the assaults of the enemy.
Open our eyes to see You in our midst, to recognize Your glory, to find courage in Your might.
You are the light in our darkness — I need not be afraid for Your presence comforts me.
Thank You Father...
In Jesus' name we pray....
Amen
Have a Blessed Day ! 😊

Since the announcement of the pope's death I have pondered reposting an article about Catholicism and what it represents in this world ...
Since his funeral is front and center in today's headlines and social media....
I believe it is important that what it (Catholicism) represents be shared again...
I rarely forward Amir's Telegram posts to this channel .. because most subscribers have chosen to directly subscribe to his channel or not...but his post today is relevant to the heart of the matter that believers should understand....
The first post is what this channel has directly posted on numerous occasions in the past and the second is Amir's post...
We should pray for Catholics around the world that eyes and ears and hearts be open to "The Truth"...👇

QUESTION
Is Catholicism a false religion?
ANSWER ......From Got Questions website. (Your questions..Biblical Answers)
The most crucial problem with the Roman Catholic Church is its belief that faith alone in Christ is not sufficient for salvation. The Bible clearly and consistently states that receiving Jesus Christ as Savior, by grace through faith, grants salvation (John 1:12; 3:16,18,36; Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9-10,13; Ephesians 2:8-9).
The Roman Catholic Church rejects this. The official position of the Roman Catholic Church is that a person must believe in Jesus Christ AND be baptized AND receive the Eucharist along with the other sacraments AND obey the decrees of the Roman Catholic Church AND perform meritorious works AND not die with any mortal sins AND etc., etc., etc.
Catholic divergence from the Bible on this most crucial of issues, salvation, means that yes, Catholicism is a false religion.
If a person believes what the Catholic Church officially teaches, he/she will not be saved. Any claim that works or rituals must be added to faith in order for salvation to be achieved is a claim that Jesus’ death was not sufficient to fully purchase our salvation.
While salvation by faith is the most crucial issue, in comparing Roman Catholicism with the Word of God, there are many other differences and contradictions as well. The Roman Catholic Church teaches many doctrines that are in disagreement with what the Bible declares.
These include apostolic succession, worship of saints or Mary, prayer to saints or Mary, the pope / papacy, infant baptism, transubstantiation, plenary indulgences, the sacramental system, and purgatory. While Catholics claim Scriptural support for these concepts, none of these teachings have any solid foundation in the clear teaching of Scripture. These concepts are based on Catholic tradition, not the Word of God. In fact, they all clearly contradict Biblical principles.
In regards to the question “Are Catholics saved?”, this is a more difficult question to answer. It is impossible to give a universal statement on the salvation of all members of any denomination of Christianity. Not ALL Baptists are saved. Not ALL Presbyterians are saved. Not ALL Lutherans are saved. Salvation is determined by personal faith in Jesus alone for salvation, not by titles or denominational identification.
Despite the unbiblical beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church, there are genuine believers who attend Roman Catholic churches. There are many Roman Catholics who have genuinely placed their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.
However, these Catholic Christians are believers despite what the Catholic Church teaches, not because of what it teaches. To varying degrees, the Catholic Church teaches from the Bible and points people to Jesus Christ as the Savior. As a result, people are sometimes saved in Catholic churches. The Bible has an impact whenever it is proclaimed (Isaiah 55:11). Catholic Christians remain in the Catholic Church out of ignorance of what the Catholic Church truly stands for, out of family tradition and peer pressure, or out of a desire to reach other Catholics for Christ.
At the same time, the Catholic Church also leads many people away from a genuine faith relationship with Christ. The unbiblical beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church have often given the enemies of Christ opportunity to blaspheme.
The Roman Catholic Church is not the church that Jesus Christ established. It is not a church that is based on the teachings of the Apostles (as described in the Book of Acts and the New Testament epistles).
While Jesus’ words in Mark 7:9 were directed towards the Pharisees, they accurately describe the Roman Catholic Church, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!”

Forwarded from Amir Tsarfati
The Vatican is preparing for the funeral of Pope Francis today. As a Jew from Galilee and a follower of the Messiah, I am astonished by the vast difference between the Gospels and the religion that men have shaped from them. The disciple who became the Apostle Peter, in his wildest dreams, could not have imagined that a fisherman from Galilee, preaching to Gentiles about the Jewish Messiah, would be succeeded and represented by this kingdom of darkness and idolatry.
Dear Heavenly Father,
You number our hairs and determine our days;
You hang the stars
And feed the sparrows;
You open doors no one can shut
And shut doors no one can open.
Surely, we can trust You when the time comes for making big decisions, or for that matter, any decisions.
As we prepare to rest....
We will trust You for generous wisdom, straight paths and peaceful hearts, all for Your glory.
In Jesus' name we pray....
Amen
Have a Blessed Night ! 😊

Verses 17-21: The Defeat of the Beast
An angel stands in the sun and calls all the birds to the great supper of God to feast on the flesh of the fallen.
The beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies gather to wage war against the rider on the horse.
But the beast and the false prophet are captured and thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
The rest are killed by the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider.

"And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great"
Revelation 19: 17-18

"And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh"

Revelation 19: 20-21
Revelation 19 is a powerful chapter in the Bible, unveiling spectacular scenes of heavenly worship, divine marriage, and the triumphant return of Christ.
The chapter presents the climax of God's plan, where His righteous judgment prevails, leading to a victorious celebration in heaven, the spiritual union of Christ and His church, and the ultimate defeat of evil.

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
