As The Church and our Society. Let me explain where I am coming from: I am a firm believer that the scriptures are Gods Holy Word to man kind in general and especially to the church. He created the world and all that is in it, and the Holy Bible is our instruction manual, as to how we are to live our lives here on this earth. God created this world and all that is in it, including us human beings, in spite of what our educational institutes are trying to teach our children and teenagers. In fact it took God six days to create all that is in it, and He rested on the seventh day. Most Christians believe that it was six, twenty four days. And this may be so, although with God one day as a thousand years, or a millennium. 2 Peter 3:8. If that is the case it took six millenniums for God to create the heavens and the earth, and He rested on the seventh millennium. Be that as it may, it obviously was not impossible for God to do it in six twenty- four hour days. We know that some time after the seventh day, Adam and Eve sinned, (they probably walked with God in this garden setting for three millenniums) and they were driven out of the Garden of Eden. God immediately set out to make a way of redemption for mankind. Just like creation was achieved in one week, so also, His plan of redemption was one week or seven days. However this we know was a week of millenniums, because there is much proof of this through out scripture. There were four days (millenniums, or 4000 yrs.) from Adams fall till Christ’s death and resurrection. We have now almost completed two days, (millenniums) since Christ’s resurrection. I say almost because our calendar was supposedly based on Jesus birth and it should have been Jesus resurrection. Jesus lived in the old testament age and after His resurrection it was the new testament age. Since Jesus was thirty-three yrs. old when He was crucified, it means that our calendar is out by some thirty years. Therefore it should now be the year of 1975 + instead of 2005. This means that we are 25 to 30 years away from the seventh day or millennium. This period of time is what Revaluation refers to as the thousand year reign of Christ with His bride, and all those that have been martyred for their faith. However before this reigning with Christ, begins there will be the three and one-half years of tribulation that shall come upon the whole earth, to purge and try the Christians, and punish the unbelievers. However the woman (church) will be protected or given two wings as of a great eagle to fly away to the wilderness were God will protect Her. Rev. 12:14. The devil cannot touch them during this time, and at the end of this three and one half years of tribulation the Devil is thrown into the bottomless pit, and kept there for the thousand years. This does not mean that this is the end of all things, but it is the beginning of a new age that the church is entering into where governments and Nations will come to the church for direction and wisdom. It is during this time that the virtue and anointing of Christ will be upon the five fold ministry in such power for the next one thousand years, the kingdom of God will be preached in all the earth, “For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come into the unity of the faith, and the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” Ephesians 4:12&13 There are those that believe that we can reach that state of unity by compromising our beliefs with other religions, and acknowledge that we are all serving the same God, and that there are other ways to heaven then through Jesus. If this were true then we can not believe the scriptures as being the word of God. Jesus himself says “ I am the Way the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father but by Me. John 14: 6 There are many of us living today that will see the culmination of this millennium and enter into the next millennium. (seventh) It is what we do with our life now will determine where we will be in the next millennium. We have to take Jesus at His word when He says that He is the way, truth and life, no one comes to God but by Me. We are on the brink of many catastrophic events to happen as signs and warnings to humanity that we are approaching this critical point in the history of our society. Really they have already begun to happen through out the world since the early 1900’s. We have had many extreme hurricanes, tornadoes, earth quakes, tsunami, floods, famines, pestilence incurable diseases, draught, wars and they will increase as we get nearer to the end of this millennium. Jesus predicted this to happen, also all this was revealed to John in Revelation, in the scriptures. There is only one answer to this problem, if that’s what we want to call it. The answer is not found in government, education, career, or religion, but in Christ Jesus, and Him only. We have all sinned and come short of Gods glory. Look to Jesus and He can forgive your sins.
