A GREAT DECEPTION IS COMING ⚠️
The Bible never says deception will look dark, obvious, or openly evil.
It warns us of the opposite.
What’s coming will sound reasonable, feel moral, and appear right — yet quietly pull hearts away from truth. The danger isn’t chaos alone… it’s counterfeit righteousness.
Scripture tells us plainly that deception grows strongest when truth is resisted. When people no longer love the truth, they don’t become neutral — they become vulnerable.

The Bible never says deception will look dark, obvious, or openly evil.
It warns us of the opposite.
What’s coming will sound reasonable, feel moral, and appear right — yet quietly pull hearts away from truth. The danger isn’t chaos alone… it’s counterfeit righteousness.
Scripture tells us plainly that deception grows strongest when truth is resisted. When people no longer love the truth, they don’t become neutral — they become vulnerable.
📖 “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.”
— 2 Thessalonians 2:11 (KJV)
This isn’t about fear.
It’s about discernment.
The end-time deception won’t come wearing horns — it will come wearing logic, compassion without truth, and religion without Christ.
📖 “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
— Matthew 24:24 (KJV)
Truth matters.
Loving truth matters.
Staying anchored in God’s Word matters.
Now more than ever, we must test everything — not by feelings, trends, or popularity — but by Scripture rightly divided.
📖 “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:21 (KJV)
Stay awake. Stay grounded. Stay anchored in Christ.
This is not the hour for spiritual sleep.

In John 19:30, Jesus’ final words, "It is finished" (Greek: tetelestai), declare that his mission to redeem humanity is fully completed, his earthly suffering is over, and the debt of sin is paid in full.

📖Key Interpretations of "It is Finished" (Tetelestai):
📖"Paid in Full": Tetelestai was an ancient accounting term used on receipts to show that a debt was fully paid. Jesus was declaring that the penalty for human sin was completely satisfied.
📖Mission Accomplished: Jesus accomplished the purpose for which He came, fulfilling all biblical prophecies regarding the Messiah.
📖End of Sacrificial System: By offering Himself as the perfect, final sacrifice, the need for further animal sacrifices for sin was ended.
📖Victory over Death: The statement is a cry of triumph over sin, death, and the devil.
📖Contextual Details in John 19:30:
"Bowing His head, He gave up His spirit": This indicates that Jesus was in control of his death. He voluntarily chose the moment of His death, rather than having His life slowly ebb away.
📖Receiving the Sour Wine: Just before this, Jesus received sour wine, which fulfilled the prophecy in Psalm 69:21.
📖Therefore, John 19:30 signifies the perfection of salvation, meaning no further work is needed for redemption, only faith in the finished work of Jesus.

The letters to the seven churches were real messages sent by the risen Lord Jesus Christ to real local assemblies in Asia Minor. They were not written as Church-Age doctrine, but they do carry spiritual instruction, warnings, and applications that believers can learn from today.
When Scripture is rightly divided, confusion fades and truth becomes clear. 📖✨
📜 THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF THE SEVEN CHURCHES
Revelation 1:11 (KJV)
“…send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia…”
These churches were:
Literal, historical congregations
Located in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey)
Facing real persecution, false teaching, compromise, and spiritual decline
The letters addressed:
Their condition
Their failures or faithfulness
Christ’s assessment, not man’s opinion
This is history, not symbolism.
⚠️ NOT CHURCH-AGE DOCTRINE — BUT REAL WARNINGS
It is critical to understand this:
The seven churches are NOT the doctrinal pattern for the Church (Body of Christ).
Why?
Revelation is a prophetic book
The Church Age doctrine is revealed through Paul’s epistles
Revelation looks forward to Israel, the Tribulation, and the Kingdom
Romans 16:25 (KJV)
“…according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began.”
The mystery of the Church was revealed later — not in Revelation 2–3.
🕯️ CHRIST’S SPIRITUAL ASSESSMENT — WHAT WE CAN LEARN
Though not doctrinal for the Church, the letters still contain spiritual lessons.
🔹 Ephesus — Lost First Love
Revelation 2:4 (KJV)
“Thou hast left thy first love.”
👉 Lesson: Sound doctrine without love leads to cold religion.
🔹 Smyrna — Faithful in Suffering
Revelation 2:10 (KJV)
“Be thou faithful unto death…”
👉 Lesson: Faithfulness matters more than comfort.
🔹 Pergamos — Compromise with the World
Revelation 2:15 (KJV)
“Thou hast also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans…”
👉 Lesson: Truth compromised becomes truth corrupted.
🔹 Thyatira — Tolerance of False Teaching
Revelation 2:20 (KJV)
“Thou sufferest that woman Jezebel…”
👉 Lesson: Love without discernment leads to deception.
🔹 Sardis — Appearance Without Life
Revelation 3:1 (KJV)
“Thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.”
👉 Lesson: Reputation does not equal spiritual reality.
🔹 Philadelphia — Faithful to Christ’s Word
Revelation 3:8 (KJV)
“Thou hast kept my word…”
👉 Lesson: God opens doors no man can shut for faithful believers.
🔹 Laodicea — Lukewarm and Self-Sufficient
Revelation 3:16 (KJV)
“…because thou art lukewarm…”
👉 Lesson: Spiritual pride blinds people to their true condition.
🧠 “HE THAT HATH AN EAR…” — SPIRITUAL APPLICATION, NOT DOCTRINAL COMMAND
Revelation 2:7 (KJV)
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
This phrase shows:
The Spirit speaks
Believers are responsible to listen
There is spiritual application, not Church-Age doctrine
Just as Old Testament events were written for instruction…
1 Corinthians 10:11 (KJV)
“…they are written for our admonition…”
So the seven churches instruct us spiritually — without redefining doctrine.
🕊️ RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD
2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)
“Rightly dividing the word of truth.”
Right division teaches us:
Who is being addressed
When it applies
Why it was written
The seven churches:
Apply historically to Asia Minor
Apply spiritually as warnings and instruction
Do not apply doctrinally to the Church as law or covenant
This protects us from confusion and error.
✨ FINAL SUMMARY
The seven churches were real.
Their warnings were serious.
Christ’s authority was absolute.
But doctrine for the Church is found in the epistles — not in Revelation 2–3.
When Scripture is rightly divided, Christ remains central, grace remains pure, and truth remains clear. 🙏
💬 CLOSING THOUGHT
Jesus still walks among His people.
He still sees.
He still speaks.
The question is not whether He is talking —
but whether we are listening. 🕊️

THE CHURCH IS THE BRIDE — AND THE STANDING IS SET
The Bible does not present the Church as working toward acceptance.
It presents the Church as already accepted in Christ.
The moment a person is saved, God makes a legal declaration. Not based on works. Not based on progress. Based on Christ.

📖 “For I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.”
— 2 Corinthians 11:2 (KJV)
JUSTIFICATION IS A VERDICT
Justification is not God hoping the believer improves. It is God declaring righteousness by faith.
📖 “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
— Romans 5:1 (KJV)
NEW CREATURE MEANS BORN AGAIN
Paul does not teach renovation of the old man.
He teaches new life.
📖 “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
This agrees with Christ’s words:
📖 “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
— John 3:3 (KJV)
The old man is not repaired.
He is crucified.
📖 “Our old man is crucified with him.”
— Romans 6:6 (KJV)
COMPLETE AND SEATED
The believer is not lacking before God.
📖 “And ye are complete in him.”
— Colossians 2:10 (KJV)
Position comes before practice.
📖 “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
— Ephesians 2:6 (KJV)
Seated means the work concerning standing is finished.
📖 “For by grace are ye saved through faith… not of works.”
— Ephesians 2:8–9 (KJV)

Israel’s Darkest Night Before the King’s Dawn.
“Alas, that day is so great there is none like it.

but he will be saved out of it.”
Jeremiah 30:7

Israel’s Darkest Night Before the King’s Dawn.
“Alas, that day is so great there is none like it.
It is a time of trouble for Jacob,
but he will be saved out of it.”
Jeremiah 30:7
Jeremiah cries this prophecy, not calmly delivers it. The Hebrew tsarah means crushing siege-distress. The terror of a surrounded city with no escape. Jacob means Israel. This is not metaphor. Not the Church. A nation. A future hour. A promised rescue. Soon.
And the wrath driving it has purpose:
“The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand this.”
Jeremiah 30:24
Jacob’s Trouble is not chaos. It is God finishing His covenant work.
❖ THE TRIPLE PROPHETIC WITNESS
Daniel sees the same day:
“There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people… will be delivered.”
Daniel 12:1
Jesus confirms it:
“Then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now and never to be equaled again.”
Matthew 24:21
Three witnesses. One event. One unparalleled crisis. One guaranteed deliverance.
❖ THE DECEPTIVE COVENANT THAT STARTS THE CLOCK
“He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven’. In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation.”
Daniel 9:27
Peace is promised. Ink dries. Israel breathes. Then betrayal. Worship stops. The abomination stands. The Time of Jacob’s Trouble ignites.
❖ ISRAEL GIVEN UP UNTIL THE BIRTH PAINS END
“Therefore Israel will be abandoned until the time when she who is in labor bears a son. Then the rest of his brothers will return to join the Israelites.”
Micah 5:3
This is not extinction. It is labor. The nation in travail before new birth.
❖ THE WOMAN FLEES THE DRAGON
“The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.”
Revelation 12:6
The woman is Israel, not the Church. The dragon is Satan. God shelters His covenant people even in their darkest hour.
❖ SATAN’S GOAL VS GOD’S PURPOSE
Satan seeks destruction. God seeks refinement.
“I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them.”
Zechariah 13:9
And Messiah Himself declared:
“I will return again to my place until they admit their guilt and seek my face; in their misery they will earnestly seek me.”
Hosea 5:15
He waits in heaven until Israel calls for Him.
❖ THE GLOBAL COURTROOM GATHERS
“I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land."
Joel 3:2
“I will gather nations, assemble kingdoms, to pour out my wrath upon them.”
Zephaniah 3:8
This is not merely war. It is divine judgment on a global scale.
❖ THE NATIONAL MOURNING OF ISRAEL
“They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child.”
Zechariah 12:10
Isaiah foresaw the result:
“The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their sins.”
Isaiah 59:20
Jesus affirmed the same condition:
“You will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
Matthew 23:39
❖ ALL ISRAEL SAVED
Paul seals the prophetic chain:
“And in this way all Israel will be saved… ‘The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.’”
Romans 11:26
Old Testament. Gospel. Apostle. One unified expectation.
❖ JERUSALEM SURROUNDED
“I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it.”
Zechariah 14:2
No escape. No ally. No human rescue.
Then heaven opens.
❖ THE WARRIOR KING ARRIVES
“The LORD will go out and fight against those nations. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem.”
Zechariah 14:3–4
Isaiah adds the terrifying image:
“I have trodden the winepress alone… their blood spattered my garments.”
Isaiah 63:1–3
The King returns not only to reign, but to rescue.
Jeremiah’s cry is fulfilled:
“He will be saved out of it.”
❖ THE TIMEPIECE OF PROPHECY
Chuck Missler,
“Israel is the fuse that ignites God’s prophetic clock.”
When Israel enters trouble, the end begins.
When Israel repents, Messiah returns.
When Jacob is delivered, the Kingdom dawns.
The Time of Jacob’s Trouble is not the end of Israel.
It is the birth of Israel’s redemption.
And the arrival of the King to rule from Zion.

📖 HOW A BELIEVER ACTUALLY OVERCOMES SIN
(The practical, biblical process — not theory)
The Bible does not leave victory vague or mystical. It gives a clear, repeatable pattern. Overcoming sin is not about waiting for temptation to disappear — it is about responding correctly the moment temptation appears.
This is how victory works in real time.

(The practical, biblical process — not theory)
The Bible does not leave victory vague or mystical. It gives a clear, repeatable pattern. Overcoming sin is not about waiting for temptation to disappear — it is about responding correctly the moment temptation appears.
This is how victory works in real time.
🧠 STEP 1 — RECOGNIZE THE MOMENT OF TEMPTATION
Victory does not begin after failure.
It begins when desire first rises.
“But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.”
— James 1:14 (KJV)
Temptation itself is not sin, but it is a warning signal. The believer must stop treating temptation as harmless and recognize it as the moment where spiritual action is required.
Ignoring this moment almost always leads to collapse later.
💬 STEP 2 — CONFESS IMMEDIATELY, NOT AFTER FAILURE
Confession is not reserved for after you fall.
It is meant for when the battle begins.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just…”
— 1 John 1:9 (KJV)
Confession here means:
agreeing with God that the desire is wrong
refusing to justify it
bringing it into the light immediately
Sin gains strength through secrecy.
It loses power when exposed early.
🙏 STEP 3 — YIELD CONTROL TO GOD (SURRENDER)
This is where many believers struggle. They want God’s help without yielding control.
“Submit yourselves therefore to God.”
— James 4:7 (KJV)
Surrender is a decision, not a feeling:
“Lord, I cannot manage this desire.”
“I give You authority over my response right now.”
God supplies power after authority is yielded, not before.
🏃♂️ STEP 4 — FLEE PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY
God never commands believers to reason with temptation.
“Flee also youthful lusts.”
— 2 Timothy 2:22 (KJV)
Overcoming sin always involves movement:
close the app
leave the room
end the conversation
change the environment
Grace empowers obedience — it does not cancel the need for action.
🚶 STEP 5 — WALK IN THE SPIRIT CONTINUOUSLY
Victory is sustained by direction, not intensity.
“Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”
— Galatians 5:16 (KJV)
Walking means:
keeping the mind engaged with truth
letting Scripture govern decisions
staying responsive to conviction
As the Spirit governs daily choices, sinful desires weaken over time.
🌿 STEP 6 — STAND IN GRACE AFTER THE BATTLE
Whether you stood firm or stumbled, condemnation is never the solution.
“For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”
— Romans 6:14 (KJV)
Condemnation feeds addiction.
Grace restores clarity and strength.
Grace does not excuse sin — it prevents repeated defeat.
🆔 STEP 7 — FIGHT FROM IDENTITY, NOT SHAME
The believer’s power flows from identity.
“Reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God.”
— Romans 6:11 (KJV)
You are not a slave trying to escape.
You are free, resisting an intruder.
When identity is right, resistance becomes stronger.
🔁 THE BIBLICAL CYCLE OF VICTORY
Recognize → Confess → Surrender → Flee → Walk → Stand in Grace → Repeat
This is not instant perfection.
It is consistent, Spirit-empowered progress.
✨ FINAL TRUTH
Confession restores clarity.
Surrender aligns the heart.
Fleeing removes fuel.
Grace supplies power.
Freedom is not instant perfection —
it is steady transformation by God’s strength.

The cross was not a tragic accident.
It was not Rome’s power.

It was a decision made in love.
Jesus was not overpowered — He was willing.
At any moment, He could have stepped down.
But He stayed… because love chose to stay.

It was a decision made in love.

But He stayed… because love chose to stay.
“Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself.”
— John 10:17–18 (KJV)
🔨 LOVE, NOT NAILS, KEPT HIM ON THE CROSS
The nail reminds us of the cost —
but it was love that held Him there.
Jesus endured the cross knowing:
The rejection
The suffering
The weight of our sin
Yet He did not turn away.
“Who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame…”
— Hebrews 12:2 (KJV)
That “joy” was not the pain —
it was the redemption of sinners.
🌿 THIS WAS GOD’S PLAN, NOT MAN’S VICTORY
What looked like defeat was actually fulfillment.
“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities…”
— Isaiah 53:5 (KJV)
The cross was where:
👉Justice was satisfied
👉Sin was paid for
👉Grace was revealed
👉Love did what nails never could.
🤲 A PERSONAL QUESTION WE ALL MUST FACE
If love held Him there…
what will you do with that love?
The cross demands more than emotion —
it demands a response.
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
— John 15:13 (KJV)
📢 THE GOSPEL MESSAGE — FOR THE LOST
Here is the good news that saves — simple, powerful, and true:
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel…
How that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried,
And that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”
— 1 Corinthians 15:1–4 (KJV)
Salvation is not earned.
It is not maintained by works.
It is received by believing in Jesus Christ and His finished work.
When you get saved, God gives you eternal life — fully paid for by the cross.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
— Romans 5:8 (KJV)
✨ FINAL THOUGHT
The nail reminds us of the pain.
The cross reveals the love.
The resurrection proves the victory.
Never forget what held Him there. ❤️

Ezekiel 38–39 is one of the most discussed prophecies in Scripture, yet also one of the most misunderstood. Much of the confusion comes from a single assumption: that because the chapters are consecutive, they must describe the same event.
Scripture itself does not demand that assumption.
When we slow down, compare Scripture with Scripture, and allow context, details, and Revelation 20 to speak, a clearer picture emerges — one that preserves God’s order, Israel’s role, and the integrity of prophecy.
📖 THE PROBLEM WITH MERGING EZEKIEL 38 & 39
If Ezekiel 38 and 39 describe the same battle, then several biblical tensions arise:
Why does one chapter emphasize extended cleansing, while the other does not?
Why does one describe Israel in peace and safety, while the other follows global devastation?
Why does Revelation 20 place a Gog–Magog rebellion after the Millennium, if Ezekiel already exhausted the event?
Rather than forcing harmony, Scripture invites distinction.
⚔️ EZEKIEL 39 — A JUDGMENT WITH AFTERMATH
Ezekiel 39 is marked by something unmistakable: aftermath.
The chapter emphasizes:
Time continuing forward
Human activity on the land
Cleansing, preparation, and restoration
A turning point for Israel’s national recognition of the LORD
“So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.”
— Ezekiel 39:22 (KJV)
This is not the end of human history.
It is a transition moment — judgment has fallen, but the earth continues into a new phase.
That fits naturally with the end of the Great Tribulation, when Christ returns, defeats His enemies, and prepares the earth for His reign.
👑 THE MILLENNIUM — THE MISSING CONTEXT
Revelation 20 provides what Ezekiel does not explicitly name: time.
Satan is bound
Christ reigns
Israel dwells securely
The nations experience righteous rule
This prolonged peace explains language in Ezekiel that otherwise feels out of place if read during the Tribulation.
Scripture does not contradict itself — it fills in gaps progressively.
⚠️ EZEKIEL 38 — A JUDGMENT WITHOUT AFTERMATH
Ezekiel 38 is fundamentally different in tone and outcome.
There is:
No mention of burial
No mention of cleansing
No mention of time continuing afterward
Instead, the chapter focuses on sudden divine intervention.
This aligns precisely with Revelation 20:
“Fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.”
— Revelation 20:9 (KJV)
This is not preparation for a kingdom —
this is the end of rebellion itself.
🧠 WHY THE ORDER MATTERS
When placed correctly:
Ezekiel 39 explains how the world transitions from Tribulation chaos into Kingdom order
Ezekiel 38 explains how, even after a perfect reign, human rebellion resurfaces when Satan is released
This preserves a core biblical truth:
Peace does not change the human heart — only God does.
🔑 THE BIG PICTURE
Ezekiel 38–39 is not about identifying modern nations.
It is about revealing God’s sovereignty at both ends of the Kingdom age:
One judgment prepares the reign of Christ
One judgment closes the history of rebellion
Different moments.
Same God.
Same glory.
✝️ A WORD TO THE LOST — THE MOST IMPORTANT TRUTH
Prophecy is not given merely to inform — it is given to warn and invite.
Before judgment, God offers grace.
The gospel is not complicated:
“Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”
— 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 (KJV)
Salvation is not found in timelines, nations, or knowledge —
it is found in believing on Jesus Christ and His finished work.
If you’ve never been saved, now is the time.
🔔 FINAL THOUGHT
Prophecy reminds us:
God is in control
History is moving forward
Grace still stands open
But one day, the door will close.
Believe the gospel.
Trust Christ.
While there is still time.

Death is one subject every human will face, yet most avoid thinking about what comes after. Scripture never treats death as the end of existence, but as a transition. The body returns to the earth, but the soul moves forward — into eternity.
This truth is not meant to terrify, but to awaken. God warns because He loves, and He reveals eternity because it is final.

This truth is not meant to terrify, but to awaken. God warns because He loves, and He reveals eternity because it is final.
“Prepare to meet thy God.”
— Amos 4:12 (KJV)
THE BODY: TEMPORARY AND PERISHABLE
From the beginning, God made it clear that the physical body is not permanent.
“For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.”
— Genesis 3:19 (KJV)
The body ages, weakens, and eventually dies. Scripture often describes the body at death as “sleeping,” not because it will awaken by itself, but because it rests until resurrection.
“The body without the spirit is dead.”
— James 2:26 (KJV)
Death is separation — not extinction.
THE SOUL: DISTINCT AND ENDURING
Jesus Himself taught that the soul is not subject to physical death.
“Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul.”
— Matthew 10:28 (KJV)
The soul survives what the body cannot. When the body dies, the soul does not fade, dissolve, or cease awareness.
“Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”
— Ecclesiastes 12:7 (KJV)
AFTER DEATH: CONSCIOUS EXISTENCE
Scripture consistently presents people as aware after death.
“And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments…”
— Luke 16:23 (KJV)
This passage shows memory, awareness, recognition, and emotion — all incompatible with unconsciousness. Death does not suspend consciousness; it relocates it.
“Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.”
— Luke 23:43 (KJV)
Jesus promised immediate presence, not delayed awareness.
A BRIEF WORD ON ‘SOUL SLEEP’
Some believe the soul sleeps until resurrection, often based on verses describing death as “sleep.” However, Scripture uses sleep as a figure of speech for the body, not the soul.
“Absent from the body, and present with the Lord.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:8 (KJV)
If the soul slept, Paul’s hope would make no sense. The Bible never says the soul sleeps — only that the body rests.
JUDGMENT FOLLOWS DEATH
There is no spiritual limbo, no pause button, no second probation.
“It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”
— Hebrews 9:27 (KJV)
Death fixes destiny. That is why Scripture repeatedly urges people to respond now.
GOD’S WARNING IS ALSO AN INVITATION
God does not warn to condemn, but to rescue.
“Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
— 2 Corinthians 6:2 (KJV)
The message of eternity always points to the same solution — Christ.
THE GOSPEL — THE ONLY HOPE FOR THE SOUL ✝️
1 Corinthians 15:1–4 (KJV)
Christ died for our sins,
was buried,
and rose again.
When you get saved, you receive eternal life — not temporary relief, not future possibility, but a present possession secured by Christ’s finished work.
“He that hath the Son hath life.”
— 1 John 5:12 (KJV)
FINAL WARNING
The body will fail.
The soul will continue.
Eternity will be entered by all — willingly or unwillingly.
“What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
— Mark 8:36 (KJV)
