Lamentations 1:2 (The city from verse 1) – She weeps bitterly in the night. Her tears are on her cheeks and among all her lovers she has none to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; in that they have become her enemies.

But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that the desolation is near. Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. Luke 21:20-24

Saint Patrick’s Day! It is said by some that the amount of alcohol consumed on this day alone exceeds any other day in the course of a year. Gambling too, to get rich quick; I also hear that there is a jackpot in the legalized numbers games that is exceeding four million dollars. One news station this A.M. complained that it was not one of the largest, but who in their “right mind” would turn down four million dollars if they won it. Apparently I am not in my right mind, simply put… I do not play the lottery, nor do I want four million dollars. Also I must have cheated the world system on consuming a manly or ungodly share of alcohol too… I SHOULD BE TARRED AND FEATHERED and run out of town.

Of course I make no apology for my critical spirit toward the world’s point of view; I do not like the words of the world and I am sure that if you are a child of God by faith in Jesus Christ THEN YOU AGREE. The wisdom of this world is a blinding LIE. What! By the way is the FAITH that saves men, women and children from the blinding lie of the world?

Romans 10:8-13 – But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Then by the grace of God through faith you too will come to notice that the world and the wisdom in it is a LIE.

Some believers however have gone to sleep and some have become dull of hearing, they do not want to hear that God’s time piece is the nation of Israel for the coming tribulation on the nations. Thus they do not watch the signs of the times we live in as plainly explained in His Holy Word. Instead, these congregations of religious nonsense are focused on false issues of worship and love and they are asleep to the deeper issues that pertain to the signs of the times. See 2 Timothy 4:1-5 and Hebrews 5:12 through 6:8. I would like to conclude with the Words of Jesus concerning the times we see on the horizon today.

Luke 21:34-36 – "But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man."
