WHAT IS IMPORTANT

 

Readers, as we are nearing the end of time we don’t have much time left doing anything that is not going to bring us closer to God. We have no time burning incense, bowing down, worshiping, and idolizing anybody or anything other than God. There is a great danger if our habits include idolizing, serving, bowing down to dead objects or living objects other than God. Why? Because God said, “You shall have no other gods before Me. "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness [of anything] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth [generations] of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. 
"You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold [him] guiltless who takes His name in vain.” Exodus 20:3-7. 
Millions of “Christians” don’t care what God says. They ignore what Jesus says. They listen and do only what Saul of Tarsus says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.“ Ephesians 2:8-9.
Paul says that we are saved by faith, not by work or following the commandments of God. Jesus however said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. “ Matthew 7:21.
Jesus said no one will go to heaven except he who does the will of Jesus’ Father (God the Father).
Are we doing the will of Jesus’ Father, or are we doing the will of the false prophet?
“Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is [the] Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while. And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then [I saw] the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received [his] mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This [is] the first resurrection.“ Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number [is] as the sand of the sea. They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet [are]. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Revelation 20:1-5,7-10.
Readers, I want you to remember important words that I mention in this posting: 1. Beast, 2. False prophets,
3. Image of the beast, 4. Sand of the sea. We already know that the beast is Satan. The false prophet is anyone who teaches anything contrary to what God teaches. The image of the beast is disobedience
The sand of the sea is the number of God’s enemies that will be destroyed when Jesus returns.
How did we get involved with the false prophet(s)? Through deception, believing that God sends them. And by serving anyone other than God.
Jeremiah 29:8-9 says, “For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are in your midst deceive you, nor listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed. For they prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them, says the LORD. “ Jeremiah 29:8-9.
