Glen Bond Picayune MS June 3, 2007 Subject : World Peace The world today is calling for world peace. 1 Thess. 5:1-4 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Pastor was saying today "flee from the wrath to come". Here is a quote from (http://www.invincibility.org/) the internet: During the last 25 years, a powerful, innovative approach to peace has been extensively field tested in the Middle East and throughout the world. The consistent result has been dramatic reductions in terrorism, war, and other social violence. ...OFFERING INVINCIBILITY TO EVERY NATION They are telling all governments how to have peace. There will never be peace withoout the prince of peace. Google had over 180 million results on a search for world peace. The world as a whole is calling for world peace. So get ready for sudden destruction. Rev 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to TAKE PEACE from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. The whole world is focused on the middle east. A small spark could start ww3 at any time. Russia, China and Korea are just waiting for an opportunity. The bible gives us no indication that there will ever be peace on earth without Christ. It tells us the opposite. How is it with your soul? Are you saved? Are you ready to die? When you die, where will your soul go? Do you know Christ? Rev. 9:17 tells us that 1/3 of the population will be killed in a war. and those that are left will not repent nor turn to God. They have their idols of the heart and they will not give them up. Are you going to be one of them? Those who reject Christ? If you reject Christ now, what would change you then? The Holy Spirit is drawing you now, but he will be gone then. Are you going to be one who is killed in the war? All of the world is decieved by Satan. You can look on the internet and see every kind of decieved preacher. All of them are saying that world peace is needed. All of them are controlled by Satan. They are all looking for visions, or have some idea that man is god. They think that meditating is going to change the world. They are all decieved. Christ came to seek and to save that which was lost. They will not admit to being lost. They are wise in their own conceit. The world is going on right into destruction. They have rejected Christ and have turned to cunningly devised fables. The man of sin will be revealed when the whole world is in an uproar, and he will breang in a short-lived peace. You need to seek the Lord NOW, while he may be found. There are no promises for you in the tribulation period. The promise is for now. Turn from your idols of the heart. Repent of your wickedness. Seek the Lord. Call upon him while he is near. Come and reason together with him. tell him your fears. Tell him that you don't want to die and go to hell. There are many who can tell you how ww3 will start. There are prophets of Satan who have prophesied that ww3 will come. The Masons. It's remarkable what the old devil knows. Everyone knows that a great war is coming. What no one knows is WHEN! It could start today. Some say that it has already started, and just has not wound up good yet. None the less, it is coming, and I believe that we will see it soon. Where is your hope? Is it in Christ, the creator of this world? Or is it in yourself? or some preacher, or some prophet? Is your hope based on some false teaching that man is a god? What hope do you have? My hope is in Christ. Whatever he has in mind for me, that I will do. Though he slay me, yet will I trust him. Job 13:15 I can only trust him as he gives me grace. I want to impress upon you that the time is short and that you need to turn to Christ. Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Our salvation is near! Look at the 6th chapter of Rev. The antichrist will appear. vs 2 Then peace will be taken from the earth. vs 4 Then will be famine vs 6 Then will be death. To kill 1/4 of the earth with sword, hunger and beasts of the earth. all of these things will bring death to 1/4 of the worlds population, and this is before the war spoken of in the 9th chapter, which will kill another third of the population. The destruction spoken of in chap 6 and chap 9 will leave the world with 1/2 of the population dead. Then there is the death by all of the other plagues. Then the battle of armageddon where 'the kings of the earth and their armies' came to fight the Lord God All of these were destroyed. This leaves the population of the earth at less than 1/2, maybe down to 1/4?, maybe even less! That means that for every 4 people, 3 will be killed. I thank the Lord that I won't be here then. I am waiting to be caught away with the Lord, in the twinkling of an eye. What are you waiting for?
