In our past Prophecy Retreats we have studied what the Bible says about a Christian's responsibility leading up to, and inside, the voting booth. We looked at Deuteronomy's message on

CHOICES AND CONSEQUENCES (Deu 30:19),

which is what casting a vote amounts to. (more HERE)

1. Choices have consequences (Gen 2.17)

2. The Bible gives mankind Freedom Of Choice... with Consequences

(Gen 3 and the Garden of Eden; Deu 30.19)                More to right... > > >

3. We are free to Choose...

Good/Evil... Right/Wrong,,, Truth/Error... Light/Darkness... God/Satan

4. God's Word (Bible) gives direction on Choice, and is accessible to all.

            (Deu 30:11-14)

5. Free Choice can be "what is right in every man's eyes"

            (Jdg 17.6), or...

6. Free Choice can be "what is right in the eye's of the Lord"

            (Deu 21:9; 2 Kg 10:30)

ABORTION     (more HERE)

Since Jesus is "the resurrection and the life", and the "author of life" (Rom 4:17), then the issue of life is paramount.

You will recall the super-evil of the Nazi death camps of World War 2, serving their satanic purpose in the holocaust-destruction of 6 million human lives who happened to be Jewish. Calling evil by its name, America also has death camps. These “abortion clinics” have “dispensed” with a similar number of human beings, their only “crime” being that they were too tiny to qualify for human rights  and too “preemie” to protest against their dismemberment as an inconvenient intrusion into the lives of big people who were supposed to be their parents, protectors and nurturers. Can you imagine these abortions being divinely-affirmed at the resurrection by those millions of miniature human bodies being left UN-resurrected because at the time of their destruction they registered no brain wave activity, or no discernible heartbeat, or because they were deemed “un-viable”? Not according to the God we serve!

        And it came about that when Elizabeth [pregnant with John the Baptist]         heard Mary's [pregnant with Jesus] greeting, the baby leaped in her         womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. (Luke 1:41)

For Thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother's womb. (Psalms 139:13)

Abortion is the destruction of the "Image of God".

And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

LGBTQ

College professors are now required to affirm a commitment to "diversity, equity, and inclusion" to earn tenure at the College. A sample College requirement reads, "Only professors who submit persuasive and inspiring diversity statement" can retain employment security at that College. This, of course, means teaching inclusion of the so-called LGBTQ lifestyle as good and right.

In light of the Bible, if Jesus were to make application to that College, He would be required to submit and sign its WOKE statement of "inclusion, diversity, and equity" and deny Mark 10:6 and Luke 17:28-29, etc.

So, when someone challenges us to become broadminded and "inclusive", let us place our response on the shoulders of Jesus (He can bear it), not on the rationale of our own reasoning or our political party. Let us declare that the Word of God, as written, is our guide—and God's Rights are our first concern.

The key words behind the gay-rights movement are “Liberty & Freedom.” But the underlying social movement is “Liberty and Freedom from the Bible.”

The Bible says that as it was in the days of Lot (gay-rights parades in Sodom), “it will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.” (Luke 17:28-30) Romans 1:24-32 and 1 Cor. 6:9-10 condemn homosexuality. Should we apologize for doing the same?

But what about “gay” people. They are still beloved of the Lord. (John 3:16) The Scripture is very simple. Jesus came to save sinners, not the “righteous.” (Mat. 9:13; 1 Tim. 1:15) So, along with gay people, we all fit into the category of “sinners”. (Rom. 3:23) When a gay person tries to get saved by reforming his/her lifestyle, it doesn’t work, for we are saved through faith, not by works. (Eph. 2:8-9) But when they “believe in the Lord Jesus Christ,” (Acts 16:31) then AT THAT MOMENT AND FOREVERMORE they are accepted by the Father, in the righteousness of Christ. (Phi. 3:9)

Let us have compassion on the lost—and show them the abounding GRACE OF JESUS. And then the Holy Spirit will enable them to live for Christ.

SUMMARY POINTS of our Prophecy Retreat, Jan 10 2019, followed by the outline of our Dec 15 2018 Prophecy Retreat  (below)

            1. Their is a specific sequence of events leading to the coming One World Empire (Dan. 7:23-27).  

            2. That international Antichrist Empire will be borderless

                (Rev. 13:4, 7).  

            3. Nations will retain their identities (Psa. 2; Zec. 12:3; 14:2)--but not their sovereignty (Rev. 16:12-16).

            4. The Focus of End Time Events will be on the Bible Lands and Nations (Psa. 83; Isa. 11:11-12:6; Joel 3) —Centered on Israel (Zec. 12:6-10). 

            5. There are immoral, inhumane, and ungodly Walls--examples being Holocaust Death Camp Walls, Berlin Wall, Walls of Jericho (Joshua 6), etc. 

            6. There are God-established Walls, past, present, & future--Jerusalem is the prime example. 

            7. There are God-ordained borders, past, present, & future (Deu. 32:8; Dan. 4:17; Acts 17:26; Eze. 40-47 where "borders"/"boundaries" are mentioned 32 times). 

            8. At the time of Armageddon, the Antichrist will storm over the God-ordained Walls (Neh. 6:15-16) of Jerusalem, entering illegally into God's Holy City, in an attempt to annihilate God's Chosen People (Joel 2:7-9).

            9. When King Jesus returns, His glorious eternal City will be a walled-city (Re 21.12) with 12 ports of legal entry (Re 21.12, 26-27), requiring a citizenship (Ph 3.20) and a passport (John 3:16).

Clearly, Legal Borders, Legal Ports of Entry, & Legal Immigration is Biblical.

Nations without borders is the policy of the Antichrist. The Antichrist rejects Borders (Rev 13:7). But it is God who ordained Borders (Acts 17:26).

CRIME

[In the Last Days] "lawlessness is increased" (Mat 24:12) 

Note from this passage that there will rise up a generation that will reap the results of constant entertainment by dark-side animalistic-violence on TV, in the movies, via video games and reading materials.

 LAW and ORDER 

Godless-run cities — have a meltdown in anarchy and flames, while police dept's are defunded and immobilized. Victims become guilty, criminals become victims. Indeed, Jesus' prophecy said "lawlessness in increased."

The Bible— nothing short of God's way will restore America

"Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. For this is the will of God, ... (1 Pet 2.13-15)
