Dear Global Christian Warriors,
Join us on this 21 day repentance journey to study His Word on Judgments. The point is to repent now to be fully His, as His Judgment unfolds. God willing, we will also include each day a suggested issue to repent of. We hope to bless you, to edify you, to strengthen you with His Word, consistent with 2 Timothy 3:16-17: "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."
TODAY'S REPENTANCE REFLECTION:
Judgment Trumpet #3 ~ Bitter Pill to Swallow
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
~Revelation 8:10-11 (KJV, underline emphasis added)
Most people remember the 1986 Nuke Meltdown disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Russia. This was the worst nuclear accident in history, surpassing even the 2011 event at Fukushima in Japan. What many people may not remember is that the name "Chernobyl" translates to "wormwood" which is the name of the "star" that makes the waters "bitter" in Revelation. It comes from the Ukranian word of "mugwort" which is a species also commonly known as "wormwood."
Was God giving us a clue here to the eventual "bitter waters" in Revelation 8? Let's slowly read verse 11 again "and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter." As with everything in scripture that is an amazing sentence with multiple meanings. Did the men die because the water was bitter or because THEY became bitter? Perhaps both.
So, once again we see a temporal possibility (nuclear war? nuclear meltdown?) along with a spiritual corollary. Throughout scripture the "sea" is often analogous with the "the sea of humanity." Bitterness is also often associated with the condition of our hearts.
Jesus taught us where fresh, living waters come from:
Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’ ”
~John 7:38 (Berean Study Bible)
So, to put this in context with today's lesson, if we are filled with Christ, FRESH (not bitter) waters flow from us. If we are filled with something else, BITTER waters will flow from us and destroy many people.
Interestingly, the name "Mary" in the Bible means "bitter."
From the verb מרה (mara), to be rebellious, or the verb מרר (marar), to be bitter or strong. ~ (Source: Abarim)
If you have been following along in our series of "Mary, Mary? Quite Contrary!" you are well aware that the Powerful End Time Delusion is most likely to come from Marian apparitions and Marian Dogmas. Fake Mary is the "unifier" of all false religions. Why? (you may ask). It is not because REAL Mary has anything to do with this, it is because REAL Mary represents "the sea of humanity." When we exalt Fake Mary, it is coming from the undrinkable fountain of bitter water deep within our corrupted souls. Peel the mask off of Fake Mary and you will see the "angel of light" deception. Mary = me & you. As such, Real Mary rightly claimed her need for a Savior and that her soul MAGNIFIED the Lord. Fake Mary will claim IT is the Savior and the soul who follows this teaching magnifies ITSELF. It comes from a deep, dark well of bitter waters indeed. The same bitter well that wants to declare itself as The Most High:
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”
~ Isaiah 14:14 (Berean Study Bible)
I love the amazing layout of Holy Scripture. The name Isaiah means "Salvation of the Lord." The #14 represents "Salvation and Deliverance." This verse found in Isaiah 14:14 literally means: "I will save myself." I will "overtop" or "provide cover" for myself. The sad part is 14 over 14 in a math equation. as any good elementary student knows, negates the number! It is as if God is saying: "NO...YOU WILL NOT." God does, indeed, have an incredible sense of humor.
Let's consider again the Judgment Trumpet in the verse up above:
"and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp"
"A great star" = The descendants of Abraham. God promised to make Abraham's descendants be as numerous as the "stars in the sky" (Genesis 22:17). Fake Mary will be portrayed as Astarte (which means star) or "Esther" (which means star), a goddess of all goddesses. Let's continue:
"as if it were a lamp"
Fake Mary will be portrayed as a "lamp" or a "light" to show us the path. What does scripture say is a "lamp" or a "light" for our path?
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.
~ Psalm 119:105 (KJV)
JESUS IS THE WORD. He is the Light.
In the poem "Invictus" which was on Nelson Mandela's funeral program (and listed as his favorite poem), the words are quite disturbing. Let's close for today with this poem and it's interpretation. It cannot be more clear. The bitter waters will be those who REFUSE TO BOW WILLINGLY to the Lordship of Christ and instead want to be the lord of themselves. Like Don Quixote in "The Man of LaMancha," they want to reach for the unreachable star...to follow themselves. Instead, they are tilting at windmills and look like a bunch of fools. Just as Eve believed the snake's deception, they want to become like God, deeming what is right and wrong IN THEIR OWN EYES.
The serpent told her: “For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
~Genesis 3:4b-5 (Berean Study Bible)
For those people, things will become very bitter indeed.
On this day, November 19th, reflect on what is within your own soul. Is it flowing with Living Waters? Are you constantly offering a fresh drink of JESUS CHRIST to others or are you offering the bitter waters of your own thoughts and reasonings?
INVICTUS
INVICTUS (Means "Invincible" in Latin or "Unbowed"---UNREPENTANT)
Out of the night that covers me, (Satan hides in darkness)
Black as the pit from pole to pole, (the pit of hell in the grave of Sheol-Earth)
I thank whatever gods may be (thanks demon "gods" not God Almighty)
For my unconquerable soul. (defiance of God's Word refuting any punishment for sin)
In the fell clutch of circumstance (all is random, saying God is not Sovereign)
I have not winced nor cried aloud. (refuses to REPENT)
Under the bludgeonings of chance (everything is "chance"--Atheist position)
My head is bloody, but unbowed. (refusing to REPENT once again 2X)
Beyond this place of wrath and tears (Earth)
Looms but the horror of the shade, (HELL)
And yet the menace of the years (despite the threat of hell)
Finds and shall find me unafraid. (DEFIANCE--no fear of God 3X)
It matters not how strait the gate, (doesn't follow the straight and narrow road)
How charged with punishments the scroll, (despite how many sins committed)
I am the master of my fate: (claims the HE is GOD)
I am the captain of my soul. (ultimate Human Secularist position)
For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living water, and they have dug their own cisterns--broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
~Jeremiah 2:13 (Berean Study Bible)
******************************************************************
You and I were born for such a time as this. We are to minister to others during the serious shakings ahead, expected in all nations. Studying the 21 signs of Judgment, our faith is built up to preach to others to find Him NOW. To do so, we need today to build up our spiritual strength through times of private repentance. We can also share times of fellowship, sharing testimonies of repentance to encourage us further.
The fear of God is not a terror that He is against us or will strike without cause or warning. Rather, the awe, the reverential fear of God, produces wise, healthy actions, as when the midwives feared God more than Pharaoh, and saved the male children, including Moses.
During these 21 days, as your doctor and the Lord may direct, you may also wish to fast as the Lord leads. Removing old sin strongholds spiritually may also act as a blessing to detox your body physically.
When you repented to come into His Kingdom, you became a vessel filled with His Holy Spirit. We are to fear, have an awesome respect for, the Living God, not fear of man, nor fear of death.
Join us in this spiritual journey to study His Word on Judgments and to repent to avoid Judgment.
You may want to ask "where did this surface in me?" Is it a generational curse? How does it show up in my character today? If you confess that sin pattern, the Lord will forgive you. You can then sincerely repent, replacing that stronghold with His Holy Word.
A key one is found in Matthew 28: 18: " And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."
No need for a theologian. The word "all" means ALL.
Revelation 1: 17-18 could not be more clear: "And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, 'Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death."
