Failing Foundations...🙏🌿🌼🕊

Failing Foundations

One would think that we could certainly trust the earth, right? It’s pretty big; the solid ground we’re standing on must be dependable. But the Bible says, “The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage” (Isaiah 24:20). Have you been in an earthquake?   The ground trembles and rolls under your feet as if you were standing on a waterbed. It’s very disconcerting, but it helps you realize there’s very little in the world you can count on, including the very earth on which you stand. Matthew 24:35 warns, “Heaven and earth shall pass away.” And 1 John 2:17 adds, “And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever"

Will you be left Standing?

The Water Of Life Is Thicker Than Blood...🙏🌿🌼🕊

Water of Life Is Thicker than Blood

Can we always count on our friends and family standing by us to the end? Sadly, we can’t. Job 19:14 says, “My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.” And Jesus adds, “A man’s foes shall be they of his own household” (Mathew 10:36). Have you ever considered how many stories in the Bible are of a man’s adversaries being his own relatives? Cain killed his brother. Who betrayed Joseph? His brothers. And Jesus? His own disciple, and His own people handed Him over to the Romans. And in the last days, we’ll probably see a repeat performance of that familial betrayal.

I sometimes get exasperated because some Christians still believe that in the last days, we need to fear pagan religions, the New Age movement, and such. But I’m not nearly as concerned about the obvious enemies on the outside as the ones on the inside. Prophecy tells us whom we need to watch; it’s going to be those who share a common faith with us: the neighbors, our friends, our families. In the end, our neighbors will be our enemies. I’ve always wondered why Christ said to love your neighbors and then again love your enemies; could it be because they are often one and the same?  - AF

Who Will Be Left Standing...🙏🌿🌼🕊

Who is going to be left standing? 

Fame and Fortune Will Fall

We often call it “Custer’s Last Stand,” but we should really say “Custer’s Last Fall,” because he didn’t stand. It was the Indians’ last stand, for standing means you’re victorious—that you survived and are still around.

So maybe we should apply the process of elimination and learn what isn’t going to stand or endure to the end. I think most of us already realize that some things people build on make pretty shabby foundations. Money is one of them—it’s not going to last. Proverbs 11:4 says, “Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.” You will not be able to bribe the Judge when Jesus comes.

Money is not going to last.

How about fame? The Bible is very clear. “The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot” (Proverbs 10:7). “The face of the >Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth” (Psalm 34:16). And Daniel 12 tells us that the names of the wicked are covered with everlasting contempt.

Instead of fame, they’ll have infamy or obscurity- AF

Who Will Be Left Standing...🙏🌿🌼🕊

Who is going to be left standing? What is going to truly last?

The Bible clearly says that, in the last days, only a few will be left standing. Revelation 6:17 poses this important question: “For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” And Malachi 3:2 affirms this: “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire [and] like fuller’s soap” 

The Bible tells us that a great judgment day is coming.  “Thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days” (Daniel 12:13).

The screens of our minds are burned with that picture of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego threatened with a fiery furnace. Yet they stood tall as the rest of the world bowed down to Nebuchadnezzar’s image. They stood for Jehovah when everyone else fell.

Revelation 13 warns us of a coming storm similar to the one they faced—a day of reckoning. Most will bow down, but some will be left Standing! - Amazing Facts
