Instructions to prepare for the coming of our Lord

Are you watching or are you among those who sleep at His coming? 

In my opinion, the Rapture of the church based on the parable of the Ten Virgins tells me it will be 50/50. Matthew 25:1-13

• Those watching will be raptured
• Those not watching will not be raptured

Instructions from the Lord

1 Peter 4:7  But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

1 Thessalonians 5:6  Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

Mark 13:35  Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

Mark 13:37  And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Luke 21:36  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Revelation 3:3  Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

We are at the end of the age verified by Matthew 24.

The Revelation 12 signs in the heavens, I believe, shows the incorruptible birth of the church directly into heaven before the dragon can devour the church. The signs in the heavens appear on September 23, 2017 which is also the last trump on The Feast of Trumpets. See Revelation 12:1-5 

Will we be raptured on that date? I don't know but God has put His sign in the heavens marking that date and event. I'll be watching to find out and I hope you will too.

Challenges of Biblical proportions, pray for our brothers and sisters in Houston and SE Texas.

August 21 Total Solar Eclipse across America leaving 33 Days to Revelation 12 Sign

Day to Night and Back Again: Earth’s Ionosphere During the Total Solar Eclipse
On Aug. 21, 2017, the Moon will slide in front of the Sun and for a brief moment, day will melt into a dusky night. Moving across the country, the Moon’s shadow will block the Sun’s light, and weather permitting, those within the path of totality will be treated to a view of the Sun’s outer atmosphere, called the corona.

But the total solar eclipse will also have imperceptible effects, such as the sudden loss of extreme ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, which generates the ionized layer of Earth’s atmosphere, called the ionosphere. This ever-changing region grows and shrinks based on solar conditions, and is the focus of several NASA-funded science teams that will use the eclipse as a ready-made experiment, courtesy of nature. Read More

Did you watch it? The crowds went wild all across the country in great celebration. It was an awesome sight to behold created and made possible by the AWESOME GOD we serve as a sign to the gentile nation of America.

Sign, what sign?

Genesis 1:14  And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

What is God trying to tell us?

The ancient city of Nineveh had a total solar eclipse followed by the arrival of Jonah telling them they would be overthrown in 40 days. I don't know if the people of Nineveh celebrated during the eclipse like America did but when Jonah arrived they realized it was God sending them a message. What they did gave them another 40 years. Here is the story.

Jonah 3:1  And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, 
3:2  Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. 
3:3  So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. 
3:4  And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. 

3:5  So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

The People of Nineveh Repent

Jonah 3:6  For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 
3:7  And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: 
3:8  But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. 
3:9  Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? 

3:10  And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not. 

The people of Nineveh understood Genesis 1:14. Do the people of America understand it?

In 33 days on September 23, 2017 the Revelation 12 sign will appear in the heavens on the Feast of Trumpets, will the light of the world be removed at that time, leaving only darkness? Go here to learn about this sign.

I pray for America to understand what God presented today and that America will follow Nineveh's response.

Pray

Repent

Draw close to God and look up

Luke 21:28  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

What could possibly GO WRONG?

It all depends on where your focus is during these end times.

If your focus is limited to the length of your arm you are going to miss some very important events during August and September 2017!

You could miss God's call to repentance and forty day warning to America on August 21st; the total solar eclipse spanning America.

You could miss the sign in the heavens of the Son of Man coming between September 9-23rd; the collision between Jupiter and Nibiru. (Genesis 3:15)

You could miss the beginning of Daniels 70th week, the Rapture of the church, and the appearance of the dragon with 7 heads and 10 horns on September 23rd this year! Revelation (12:1-6 Signs in the heavens) Contrary to today's trending headlines on the web it won't be the end of the world.

You could wind up in this lineup.

If you are in this category you still have time to repent and get right with Jesus!

2 Peter 3:4  And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

You have 46 days left to September 23, 2017, please don't waste them!

2 Corinthians 6:2  (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) 

Repent and be saved right now, time is short!

I am not date setting, the signs in the heavens reveal these events, whether Christ comes for His bride on the Feast of Trumpets this year or not we'll know soon enough. As for me and my family we will be looking up for His coming like we have been for many years.

God's Roadmap to the End

Scott Clarke  ERFMINISTRIES.COM

Be wise and be ready with full lamps and extra oil.

The Parable of the Ten Virgins

Matthew 25:1  Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 

2  And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 

3  They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 

4  But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 

5  While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 

6  And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 

7  Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 

8  And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 

9  But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 

10  And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 

11  Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 

12  But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 

13  Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
