“Standing at a distance, for fear of her torment, they will say, Oh No! The great city! Bavel, the mighty city! In a single hour your judgment has come!”
Revelation 18:10 CJB

Notice how the concern here isn’t people or salvation it’s all about the material things of the world! Just like people today, they are more worried about their possessions!

“The world’s businessmen weep and mourn over her, because no one is buying their merchandise any more-stocks of gold and silver, gems and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, all rare woods, all ivory goods, all kinds of things made of scented wood, brass, iron, and marble; cinnamon, cardamon, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, flour, grain, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots-and bodies-and people’s souls.”
Revelation 18:11-13 CJB

It is sad that we see people around us more concerned about possessions than what can really give them joy and hope, which is the LORD! What is even sadder is we see this among so called believers today!

“The fruits you lusted for with all your heart have gone! All the luxery and flashiness have been destroyed, never to return!”
Revelation 18:14 CJB

Today, let’s put all our hope in the LORD who will never let us down and not the world and its flashy things that will always leave us disappointed and empty!
Have a blessed day in the LORD!

“The kings of the earth went whoring with her, and the people living on earth have become drunk from the wine of her whoring.”
Revelation 17:2 CJB

When this happens, the body of believers will be taken home, so this will be a thousand times worse, but we see these things happening today! Not just in the secular world, but also in the body of believers! We have false teachers, deceitful teachers and just pure liars speaking in many pulpits today! The solution is we need to be in the word of God studying it and knowing it!

“The time is coming, says Adonai Elohim, when I will send famine over the land, not a famine of bread or thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Adonai.”
Amos 8:11 CJB

We see this today, a famine for the word of God. People simply just don’t want or care to hear it and far too many preachers are willing to accommodate!

“For the time is coming when people will not have patience for sound teaching, but will cater to their passions and gather around themselves teachers who say whatever their ears itch to hear. Yes, they will stop listening to the truth, but will turn aside to follow myths.”
2 Timothy 4:3-4 CJB

Today, we see this happening now. Folks put more effort into activism, sports and politics than they do the word of God!
We don’t have to fall into that trap. We all need to spend more time in prayer and studying His word so we can understand the times we are living in!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Then I heard the altar say, Yes, Adonai, God of heaven’s armies, Your judgments are just!”
Revelation 16:7 CJB

No matter what we may think or what our opinions may be, the judgments of the LORD are perfect and just! Just realize it is the world that is out of whack!

“I know that Adonai gives justice to the poor and maintains the rights of the needy.”
Psalm 140:12 CJB

We all need to just trust the LORD in everything and know that He is doing great things, no matter what we see going on in the world!

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who changed darkness into light and light into darkness, who change bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter!”
Isaiah 5:20 CJB

Today, we see the words of Isaiah playing out before our eyes, but remember, the LORD is gonna have the last word and will give justice in due time! So don’t get frustrated our dismayed, instead rejoice knowing the LORD has it all under control.
Have a blessed day knowing that!

“Adonai, who will not fear and glorify Your name? Because You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for Your righteous deeds have been revealed.”
Revelation 15:4 CJB

The day is coming when all nations and all people will worship the LORD! Today is not that day, but we as believers can still worship and praise the LORD everyday!

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we praise the name of Adonai our God.”
Psalm 20:7 CJB

We see this all around us, people trusting government, medicine and finances when they should be trusting the LORD! We as believers need to make it abundantly clear who we trust! The LORD our God!

“My help comes from Adonai, the maker of heaven and earth.”
Psalm 121:2 CJB

Today, we need to be believers who are singing praises to the LORD, giving Him glory because we know where all our help and needs come from!
Have a blessed day in the LORD!

“In a loud voice he said, Fear God, and give Him glory, for the hour has come when He will pass judgment! Worship the One who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water!”
Revelation 14:7 CJB

We all need to be loud and vocal about how good the LORD is, sharing with people, how they should fear living without Him! For many people the hour of judgment is fast approaching and they haven’t accepted the LORD!

“But Adonai is enthroned forever; He has set up His throne of judgment.”
Psalm 9:7 CJB

One of the things we see around us today, is people don’t fear the LORD and believers are reluctant to share the Good News of Salvation! Also people aren’t concerned or fear the judgment of the LORD!

“Come, let’s sing to Adonai! Let’s shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.”
Psalm 95:1 CJB

Today, let’s get out there and look for people to share with, knowing for some their hour is getting real close!
Have a blessed day sharing the hope of salvation!
