"There will Be Judgement" from Revelation 14:14-20

The Parables of Jesus: Six In-depth Studies Connecting the Bible to Life (Deeper Connections)In the world today sins are prevalent.

White Cloud - sign of the presence of God.
Numbers 9:17 Whenever the cloud lifted from above the Tent, the Israelites set out; wherever the cloud settled, the Israelites encamped.

"Godliness with contentment is great gain."

Revelation is about Jesus. And not about the church.

If we love God with all our hearts and make Him the King of our life you will serve Him whole heartedly.

The parable of weeds . . .
Matthew 13:24-29
24Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

27"The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?'

28" 'An enemy did this,' he replied.
"The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'

29" 'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. 30Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.' "

Christ said not anyone who will say Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom.

When we sin do you actually repent or just repeating the sin?

We have to allow God's word to correct us and rebuke us. And this is not only for the wicked but also for the church.

Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,[a]

a.) Romans 8:1 Some later manuscripts Jesus, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit,

SICKLE

sik'-'l (chermesh (Deuteronomy 16:9; Deuteronomy 23:25), maggal; compare Arabic minjal (Jeremiah 50:16 Joel 3:13); drepanon (Mark 4:29 Revelation 14:14-19)): Although the ancients pulled much of their grain by hand, we know that they also used sickles. The form of this instrument varied, as is evidenced by the Egyptian sculptures. The earliest sickle was probably of wood, shaped like the modern scythe, although much smaller, with the cutting edge made of sharp flints set into the wood. Sickle flints were found at Tel el-Chesy. Crescent-shaped iron sickles were found in the same mound. In Palestine and Syria the sickle varies in size. It is usually made wholly of iron or steel and shaped much like the instrument used in western lands. The smaller-sized sickles are used both for pruning and for reaping.

Pastor's Message
2 Corinthiants 12:8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
What is the request of Paul?
How many times did he ask God?
Three times. What he requested in this verse is that God will remove the thorn on his body, the Bible (Gal. 4:15) gives us hint that it was in his eyes (probably a non-stop sore eyes). But God's answer was "MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU". For my power is made perfect in weakness. Can we accept that? Even if we prayed and He doesn't say yes to our request? But Paul acknowledge the will of God in our lives. Why? Because His GRACE IS ENOUGH.

Nice Christian Life Experiences

Notes from Mark 13:14-27

Mark 13:14-27 New International Version (NIV) 14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a] standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. 20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even

Mark 13:32-37

Mark 13:32-37 New International Version (NIV) The Day and Hour Unknown 32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
