Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder

We get to  respond to Armageddon   before it actually happens. We hear that all rebellion to God and the ways of God will be destroyed at that battle.  Jesus wins easily. The birds eat the vanquished. Teaching point: don't be bird-food. God  wants to be with us knuckleheads who say YES to Him. At the end of the battle, NOBODY is left to resist Him. Only permanent punishment and separation fro...

Two great feasts are described in Rev Chapter 19. One is the wonderful marriage supper of the Lamb to His church.  PEOPLE are invited , and INTIMACY with God is on the menu . In contrast, there is also a "great supper of God" that you DON'T want to be at because BIRDS are invited and PEOPLE are on the menu .  That's right, the bodies of humans are eaten.  The birds are doing cl...

If we really knew that Jesus was coming back with His people in heaven to His people on earth,  what kind of people ought we be now? Those that choose separation from Him now are separated from Him eternally. They will be away from the presence of the Lord and His glory.  Teaching point: you don't want to be one of these people. So,   Live so as to be with God NOW so you can be with God THEN....

Pause with me today to hear what the Bible has to say about the 2nd coming of Christ that is NOT in the book of Revelation.  It is the most important event in world history,  that has not yet happened. The return of Jesus: will be PUBLIC. Everybody will see it will be met with some MOURNING. There are those who continue in their refusal, rebellion, and resistance toward God. will be POWERFUL. His...

Jesus comes back. That fact alone is amazing. He's coming to finish what was started at the crucifixion and resurrection. He's coming back to MAKE WAR. We are waiting for You Jesus. And, we are waiting for you IN THIS WAY. He's coming in judgment. He's coming to strike down the rebellious nations. He's coming to rule with a rod of iron. He's coming to tread the winepr...

The Bride of Christ is not a PERSON , it is a PEOPLE . It is a group of people called His CHURCH .  He's been heavily invested in this group for thousands of years. The Bride is supposed to BE READY .  This happens in three ways HE makes her ready.  His love attention and selection changes everything She makes HERSELF ready INDIVIDUALLY . This is the job of every saint. Every bride on an oar...

I have an appreciation for the angel that John temporarily worships.  He could have  received the worship that John sent his way. He could have said in his little angel-heart something like, "You are right John! I am pretty glorious!  I'm worthy of this affection directed my way. You should worship me!"  Instead he says: "You MUST NOT DO THAT . I am a fellow  servant with you a...

Babylon is thrown down with violence. Those who were aligned with her mourn, but not too closely, as they fear being caught up in her judgment.  They stand off in fear as the economic and religious system that LEAVES GOD OUT is thrown down.  She is righteously punished.  In her, there is found the cargo of the souls of men and the martyred blood of the saints.  She has abused slaves and saints.  T...

Revelation is scary. But at the same time, it is REASSURING. We hear how God's got this in control.  He's perfectly powerful.  He's perfectly just. Nothing here is a big surprise to HIM, though it is to US. The moral and behavior system that LEAVES GOD OUT has GOT TO GO.  Her time is up. Judgment has arrived. There are no more chances to respond yieldingly towards God for her. Babyl...

Babylon represents a religious system that LEAVES GOD OUT. Babylon represents a behavior system that LEAVES GOD OUT. Babylon represents a moral system that LEAVES GOD OUT. Ultimately, that which LEAVES GOD OUT has GOT TO GO. That is what is happening near the end of Revelation. Join me in watching her glorious DOUBLE FALL. bewithme.us instagram like and subscribe

Up to this point in Revelation, all the facets of EVIL are UNIFIED in their opposition to God.  Today, evil begins to turn against evil. A house divided cannot stand.  This is the beginning of the end for evil. God exercises His sovereignty in the decision making souls of the beast. He turns one evil force against another. God is exercising His genius and His power today. Let's make good choi...

If you are 10 years old, you have CHOICES.  "How do I treat my brother? Will I work diligently at school? What will I do with my mind?" Those in the end times will have choices too.  Who do you yield authority and power to? Who do you align your MIND with? Join me for 7 minutes to find out who is going to do it well and who is going to do it poorly. bewithme.us

We have been " living in Babylon " since we got kicked out of the Garden of Eden. It is a symbolic place where there is active resistance to God and His ways.  It is a picture of "civilized man apart from God; man in organized but godless community."  Leon Morris. The antidote to this is to MAKE ROOM FOR GOD .  You know the space: perhaps your greed,  your lust, your anger, or...

Today, I awoke to a THUNDERSTORM.  The question is: Why do we live in a world that aches and groans? It reminds us that even this wonderful planet is NOT QUITE RIGHT. It is because the EARTH was CURSED, from no fault of its own, when MAN was cursed.   But don't worry, God is making both MAN right...by the atonement of Jesus, and the WORLD right by re-creation. He is going to FIX US, and FIX T...

Finally, a Bowl of Wrath where nobody dies.  Unfortunately, those against God are setting themselves up for the final battle. This will not end well. Armageddon is an ancient battle field and the future FINAL battlefield.  The unified armies of the earth gather there to "fight against God" (if there is such a thing). Armageddon means "place of slaughter". Hint: it is not of God...

If we curse and "drop evil words on God", someone is the worse for it.  Now understand, God is going to be perfectly fine.  He is still 100% glorious.  Our throwing profanity at God doesn't hurt Him a bit, but it hurts  us. Join me for 7 minutes today as we encounter a group of people who SEE God, KNOW that it is He who is bringing judgment AND YET STILL revile Him.  Bewithme.us

Unrepentant people on earth continue to have the opportunity to yield to God all the way through His wrath.  That is, as God reveals Himself in a new way, and the people CLEARLY see it, they STILL REFUSE HIM.  God's wrath is perfectly just and perfectly applied .  As it is happening, heaven and earth pause ½ way through to have a little worship party. Even the targets of wrath recognize that...

God is SMOKIN' in heaven. It is a visible manifestation of His POWER and His GLORY. He's smokin' when we catch a glimpse of heaven in Revelation 15, and since His power and His glory haven't changed, I'm betting He is smokin' right now. When people "go to glory" (die), it is not to their own glory that they go.  It is to GOD's Glorious , smoky place.  I...

Here is a new name for Jesus: THE GOOD GRAPE.  The reality is that there is a judgment coming that must be satisfied by blood. Without it, there is no forgiveness of sin.   Christian believers say: "Hey, I'm with Jesus. I am receiving the benefits of HIS BLOOD by my belief in Him". It is a good deal, because otherwise, I'M THE GRAPE that has to go through the winepress of God&a...

There is a future winepress of God's righteous wrath.  Unrepentant, rebellious people are the GRAPES OF WRATH who will get exactly what they chose. A judgment is coming. Everybody wants "justice". Nobody wants justice of their own actions. God offers His Son to substitute Himself   for you in this bloody winepress.  He offers "The GOOD GRAPE"(Jesus) for the Grapes of Wrath...

The breadcrumbs of our behavior reveal much about our beliefs. In fact, the test of our actions is the real demonstration of what is inside the soul. Here is the kicker for today:  Our DEEDS FOLLOW US into heaven.  What we do HERE follows us to THERE.  If you knew that your deeds today last forever , what would you want them to say? S tart your forever-remembered-actions by listening, and really c...

I laughed when I read that Babylon is Fallen before she was even introduced as an character  in the book of Revelation. John sees the END of Babylon before he even sees her BEGINNING . I cried when I read about the havoc that she causes before she is thrown down. She is a powerful enemy of God. She requires a powerful God with a powerful can of wrath to pour out upon her.  She wreaks havoc on the...

Jewish believers in this passage are found enjoying a heavenly kingdom either in heaven, or in a heavenly kingdom that is come to earth.  They have been faithful to death through a very difficult period on earth.  It's so bad it has a special name: the GREAT TRIBULATION .  These folks conquered; they MADE IT . As we glimpse ahead to THAT day, what do we find them doing?  They are FOLLOWING TH...

The stakes are high regarding WHO do you worship. Everybody worships something.  Our hearts were built for it.  But getting it WRONG is costly: it may cost you eternity with the one you were made eternal for. At least one of the antidotes for mis-worshipping is to not be deceived by the one who has "deceiver" as his middle name.  The second is to go to the genuine article: the true Lord....

Today you'll meet a very impressive beast that has authority, smooth words, deceiving purpose and an unholy goal. He rules, he speaks, he convinces, he wrecks things, he deceives and then he will be gone forever .  As impressive as the reading of him is today, he's a relative flash in the pan. Those who will live with us forever are only briefly mentioned.  There are those, even in this...
