John 11:45-48 NKJV

45Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him. 46But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things Jesus did. 47Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, “What shall we do? For this Man works many signs. 48If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation.”

An Evil Plot

The governmental authorities (rulers) within the temple in the days when Jesus lived on the earth hated Jesus for many reasons, but one of which was that he was gaining a huge following among the people and they believed that their own positions of rule and authority would be taken away from them by the Romans who were in authority over them. So, they believed that if they could have him put to death that would be the end of it all and they would no longer be faced with that competition for the hearts of the people. Then they would have full control over the people once again.

And in our day and time there is a similar plot afoot, I believe, but with a different twist to it. Now, it was the Jews who had Jesus put to death, but via the Romans, and there are Judaizers today who are working to put Christianity to death as well, I believe, in order to bring us all under the rule of The Beast and into a one world religion, of sorts. But this is being accomplished in a different way. For they are pushing both Christianity and Judaism on the people, I believe especially to make people hate Christianity and Christians so that the people will call for an end to us sharing our faith.

False Representation

For the people who are trying to make my nation (USA) Christian only are not necessarily people who represent the Christian faith and practice as taught in the Scriptures. For one, Jesus never forced himself on anyone. He spoke truth to the people about himself and why he came to the earth and regarding his mission and the plans of God for the people of the earth. He shared the message of the gospel with the people openly, and out in public, but he did not force himself on anyone who chose not to believe in him and in what he was teaching. He let them walk away if that is what they chose.

And also Jesus taught the Christian faith and practice as submission to him as Lord, in surrender of our wills to the will of God, and as us denying self, dying to sin, and walking in obedience to our Lord and to his commands in holy living, in daily practice. He taught that we are to put behind us the misdeeds of the flesh and that we are now to live upright, godly, morally pure, and self-controlled lives in keeping with biblical repentance and with holy living. And he taught that we are to love one another, and to do good to others, and that we are not to hate, take revenge, and/or murder people.

Hypocrisy at its Worst

So, when we hear certain people in positions of rule and authority over us pushing Christianity (their version, not God’s version) on the people of this nation, when not everyone in my nation believes in Jesus, but while they murder the innocents, and they thirst for the blood of those they call their “enemies,” and while they promote idol worship and they blaspheme the God they claim to worship by promoting themselves as “gods” to be worshipped, while they do not represent what is godly, holy, and righteous, but they are crude and hateful, then they ignite hate for those called “Christians.”

But that is their goal, I believe. And I believe this is fulfilling the prophesies of Scripture regarding the last days before the return of our Lord, and with regard to the rise and the rule of “The Beast” one world order and its one world religion. And all of this is leading up to the severe persecution of Christians in my nation and in other nations which have not yet had to face such cruelty and martyrdom as many other people have had to suffer down through the generations in many other nations (see Revelation 13). So we need to get ourselves ready, for this is surely on its way, in its time.

A Call of God

So, the Lord gave me the title of this writing, “Put Your House in Order,” which means to be prepared for this which is most certainly coming, because the Scriptures prophesy that these things are coming, and we can see the evidence of this taking place right before our eyes on a daily basis. So, this is a call to repentance, to walks of obedience to our Lord’s commands, and to submission to God’s will and purpose for our lives. It is a call to forgive enemies and to reconcile broken relationships, too. Time is not on our side. So, don’t be idle. Revelation 13 is being played out in real time now.

So, please know that Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God. So don’t ignore this. Not one of us is assured that we have today, let alone tomorrow.

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.

Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.
